Sky Sports:

Besiktas have joined the race to sign Manchester United midfielder Kleberson.

Besiktas vice-president Kivanc Oktay did not want to name his targets but it is known coach Riza Calimbay is keen on the 26-year-old.

"We want to get the best player we can at the best conditions," said Oktay.

"We're speaking to many players at the same time and then we'll make a choice."

Celta fancied signing Kleberson on a season-long loan but United are believed to want to thrash out a permanent transfer.

Meanwhile Sporting LIfe report that:

'Manchester United have turned down two separate bids for out-of-favour midfielder Kleberson.'
