Wout Weghorst's contract with Besiktas has officially been terminated, and the player is on the verge of joining Manchester United.

In a statement on Friday, the Turkish club made this announcement.

At the beginning of the season, Weghorst signed a loan agreement with Besiktas, but he has since ended that arrangement.

The Premier League team are "close" to signing the Dutch striker, according to United manager Erik ten Hag, who stated this at a press conference on Friday.

And Besiktas said in the statement: “The temporary transfer agreement with our professional football player Wout François Maria Weghorst and his club has been terminated by mutual agreement with the player and his club."

“Due to the early termination of the contract by the Burnley FC club, a termination fee of EUR 2,825,000 will be paid to our company.”
