Buruk set for Besiktas switch

Internazionale's Turkish midfielder Okan Buruk is to make a return to his homeland with Besiktas.

The talented midfielder has agreed a pre-contract agreement with Yildirim Demiroren, who was only elected Besiktas' new president on Sunday.

The player's agent, Ahmet Bulut, has also confirmed that his 32-year-old client received an enquiry from former club Galatasaray.

However, it appears Buruk is destined to keep his word and sign for Besiktas before the end of June.

''Okan will sign on June 15,'' confirmed Bulut.

''I'm going to Italy to talk to Internazionale's directors on Friday.''
