Turkish Super Lig champions Besiktas are finalising the signing of Croatia international Domagoj Vida.
The defender s contract at Dynamo Kyiv had been set to expire on Sunday and he will swap the Ukrainian Premier League side for one of Istanbul s powerhouse teams.
Besiktas are yet to release details of the transfer or Vida s length of contract, but did inform Turkey s Capital Markets Board that they were discussing personal terms with the player.
The 28-year-old came through the ranks with Osijek and spent a brief spell at Bayer Leverkusen from 2010, before playing for Dynamo Zagreb between 2011 and 2013.
He has been a regular at Dynamo Kyiv during the last four years and has also earned 51 caps for Croatia.
Able to play at right-back but more accustomed to operating as a centre-back, Vida featured in a social media welcome video with Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun and was also pictured wearing the team s shirt alongside club officials on Tuesday.
In a caption accompanying the picture on his Twitter account, Vida wrote: My next destination is @Besiktas.

Vida had been linked with a move to Premier League club Everton.
