Gael Clichy set to sign for Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir after being released by Manchester City
Left-back, 31, will undergo medical before signing what is reported to be a three-year deal
GAEL CLICHY is set to sign for Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.
The former Manchester City left-back will undergo a medical today before signing what is reported to be a three-year deal.
Clichy, 31, left was released by City at the end of last season along with fellow full-backs Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta.
Sagna has been linked with a return to Ligue 1 while Zabaleta joined West Ham.
Istanbul Basaksehir - who SunSport told you were linked with a move for Ashley Young - finished runners-up in Super Lig last season, four points behind Besiktas.
That means they have jumped into the Champions League third qualifying round.
Clichy will also be joining a club with the tightest defence in the Turkish top flight.
Abdullah Avci's side conceded just 28 goals last term and went 17 games unbeaten - the best all season.
Basaksehir announced Clichy's arrival on Twitter yesterday.
The former France star is understood to have agreed a deal worth more than £2.5million per season.
Clichy joined the Etihad side from Arsenal in 2011 and made 141 appearances for the club in all.
