Leroy Sane is set to leave Bayern Munich for Galatasaray.
Arsenal were very strong contenders but were considering their options with Sane wanting a more immediate resolution and an appealing proposition from Turkey providing that.
Al Hilal and Fenerbahce were also interested in the 29-year-old, with his contract with the Bundesliga champions expiring at the end of this month.
There has been no signature but a significant range of agreement on a three-year contract worth up to €15million per year net has been reached.
