Besiktas president Fikret Orman is monitoring the situation after meetings between the two clubs have taken place.

And the club are confident they can secure a £25million deal for Kompany.

However, matching Kompany's £130,00-a-week wages could prove to be a problem for the club.

Pep Guardiola has begun shaping his team and it is unknown whether Kompany is in his plans or not.
