Besiktas president Serdal Adalı has confirmed his club have held talks with Rangers' Ridvan Yilmaz about a return.
The Turkish left-back moved to Ibrox from his homeland in 2022 but could now be set for a return to his former club after a stop-start three years in Glasgow, mainly thanks to injuries.
He has often been linked with a move back to Turkey, including to Besiktas as well as Galatasaray.
Now, it appears to be concrete as Adalı admitted discussions have taken place. However, there is still plenty work to be done before a deal can be concluded.
The Turkish side's president told Mackolik: "We've focused all our efforts on the left wing.

"We've spoken with Ridvan Yılmaz. Nothing has been finalised. We're talking to his agent and his club."
Yilmaz hasn't been getting a look in under new boss Russell Martin and new signing Max Aarons even got his number three jeresy.
Aarons, traditionally a right back, was even favoured on the left while Jefte has started the last two games.
Martin said last week: “With Ridvan, we’ve had an honest conversation and he’s sizing up his options, there are a couple of clubs interested in him so we’ll wait and see what happens."
