Batshuayi, 30, joined the Turkish giants two years ago and scored 44 goals in 75 games, but missed out on the Super Lig title by three points last season.

Rivals Galatasaray pipped Fenerbache to top spot and they are now close to pinching Batshuayi.

According to beINSports, the Belgian is set to put pen to paper on a three-year deal worth £50,000 a week.

The move across Istanbul is very controversial and is likely to win him no favours amongst Fenerbahce fans.

To make matters worse, Batshuayi has already played for the other Istanbul giant - Besiktas.

He scored 14 goals in 33 games for the Turkish outfit on loan from Chelsea in the 2021-22 season, before signing for Fenerbahce.

Batshuayi sparked uproar last season with his late winner against Trabzonspor.

Opposition fans stormed the pitch in response and began to attack Fenerbahce stars, including Batshuayi.

He reacted by attempting a spinning kick on one supporter, with QPR star Bright Osayi-Samuel punching a fan to the ground.

Fenerbache threatened to quit the league over the chaos.
