Besiktas have released a statement refuting claims Wout Weghorst's loan deal from Burnley can be terminated if Manchester United pay £2million.
Weghorst has enjoyed a stellar season so far at Besiktas, scoring nine goals in 18 appearances for the Turkish side and has been linked with a January move to United.
However, Besiktas have denied reports claiming there is an exit clause in the striker's contract, stating his deal can be terminated early with compensation.
Besiktas described such claims as 'fictitious' and 'speculative news'. They insisted the public would be 'informed' if there was any real developments.
The Istanbul-based outfit released the following statement: 'After the match of our Football A Team against Kasimpasa in the Super League, there was a need to make a statement due to speculative news in the media about our football player Wout Weghorst.
'The claim that there is an exit clause in our football player's contract, stating that his contract can be terminated with a compensation of 2.5 million Euros in case of an offer from the Premier League, is fictitious.
'However, the news that the player in question will leave the team on Tuesday is completely untrue. The initiative regarding Wout Weghorst belongs entirely to Besiktas Gymnastics Club.'
The club went on to add: 'We also state that if there is a development on this issue, our esteemed community and the public will be informed.
