Chelsea green light striker transfer, Turkish champions take giant step towards striking deal
Chelsea have given Besiktas the green light to sign Loic Remy according to reports in Turkey.
Fanatik claim that the Blues are open to Remy leaving this window and the player is also reported to be keen on the transfer.
Per the source, Besiktas want to loan Remy and the prospect of first-team and Champions League football is proving to be an attractive proposition.
The Istanbul giants are prepared to offer the Blues a €2 million loan fee for the deal to go ahead.
Besiktas have made strengthening their attacking line a priority this summer.

Vincent Aboubakar and Demba Ba are set to return to their parents clubs after spending the season on loan, leaving Besiktas lacking depth upfront.
Remy joined Chelsea from QPR back in 2014 but has made just 47 appearances for the Premier League champions since his transfer.
The powerful striker was loaned out to Crystal Palace this season but failed to make an impact.
The French forward played just 283 minutes of competitive football for Palace in all competitions this season.
