The defender has become a free agent this summer, and looks set to make a move to the Turkish giants.

Fenerbahce have confirmed they have begun talks with former PSG player Gregory van der Wiel, and they hope to complete the deal for the Netherlands international on Monday.

The 28-year-old is out of contract this summer at the Ligue 1 champions, and both the club and player have decided against a new deal.

It now looks as though he is heading to Turkey, despite being linked with a move to Serie A, with both Roma and Lazio interested in acquiring his services.

"Fenerbahce have opened negotiations with Gregory van der Wiel over a transfer," a brief statement on the club's official website reads.

"The Dutch player is expected to arrive in Istanbul on July 4 to complete the deal."

The Dutch international arrived at Parc Des Princes from Ajax back in 2012, and has since helped them to four consecutive Ligue 1 titles.
