TIRANA, January 29 – Kristjan Asllani is set to move to Turkey, after Italian options for the midfielder faded. He is one step away from joining Besiktas, which is working to complete the transfer quickly.

Asllani, who played this season for Torino on loan from Inter Milan, has approved the move. The deal is a loan with an option to buy.

Only final bureaucratic details remain between the two clubs. Once completed, Asllani can play continuously for Besiktas, which convinced him to accept the Turkish offer.

The club also owns another Albanian player, Ernest Muçi, who is on loan at Trabzonspor and performing well.
