Turkish outfit Besiktas have reportedly shown interest in signing Orlando Pirates winger Thembinkosi Lorch.

The 26-year-old was recently linked with a move to Percy Tau’s Club Brugge side, who reportedly made an offer of around R30-million, which the Buccaneers rejected.

However, Brugge are willing to up their offer for the winger but faces competition from the Turkish giants.

FotoMac revealed that Besiktas have made a bid around R28-million for the services of Lorch.

Should Lorch join Besiktas, he will follow in the footsteps of Kaizer Chiefs legend Fani Madida, who played for the Turkish outfit from 1992 to 1995.

Lorch, who missed the last two Absa Premiership games through suspension, has already scored one goal in 12 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
