Besiktas have confirmed they are negotiating with Barcelona over the signing of full-back Adriano Correia.
Adriano, 31, was included in the Barca squad for the preseason tour of the UK but he started only four La Liga games last season, with a further four substitute appearances, and appears to be surplus to requirements under Luis Enrique.
Bestikas issued a statement on Sunday to announce that talks had begun over a potential deal for the versatile Brazilian.
NTVSpor in Turkey had previously reported that Adriano had agreed a three-year deal with Besiktas.
