Aleksandar Kolarov 'closing in on Besiktas move'

Aleksandar Kolarov is reportedly closing in on a move to Turkish giants Besiktas.

The 31-year-old joined Manchester City from Lazio in the summer of 2010, and the left-back has scored 21 times in 243 appearances for the Citizens, landing two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and two League Cups during his time in English football.

Kolarov started 27 of City's 38 Premier League matches last season, but the defender will be out of contract at the Etihad Stadium next summer.

A number of clubs have been linked with a move for the Serbian international, but according to Mozzart Sport, Besiktas have won the race, with Kolarov expected to sign a four-year contract with the Super Lig outfit.

Besiktas have won their domestic division in each of the last two seasons.
