Chelsea defended Malang Sarr is being linked with a move to Turkey before their transfer window closes on Friday.
Such a move will most likely be initially on loan, although an option to buy could be included in any subsequent deal.
He spent the entirety of last season in Ligue 1 with Monaco, but they declined the opportunity to make the arrangement permanent.
The 24 year old, who has been capped by France at every age group up to under 21 level, initially joined Chelsea on a free transfer in 2020 from Nice, but then was loaned straight out to Porto.
He returned to Chelsea and went on to make 21 senior appearances for them, but he has now way down the pecking order under Mauricio Pochettino, with no realistic chance of getting first-team minutes under the Argentine.
With two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, it is hoped that another loan spell could see him attract buyers for him next summer.
