Besiktas set to move for Liverpool midfielder Lucas

Lucas Leiva looks set to wrap up a move to Turkey this week, after Besiktas agreed on a fee with the Brazilian's team, Liverpool. Leiva has slipped down the pecking order at Anfield.

The form of Joe Allen has kept Leiva out of the Liverpool first team and the midfielder now looks set to transfer elsewhere in search of regular action.

Turkish side Besiktas have agreed a 4.5 million GBP move for the Brazilian defensive midfielder and Leiva himself is set to earn around 75,000 GBP per week with a move abroad.
