Besiktas president Fikret Orman has held talks with Chelsea CEO Ron Gourlay over the transfer of Demba Ba.
The Black Eagles have been keeping close tabs on the Senegalese international and have not made any secret of their intentions to sign the Chelsea striker.
Besiktas board member Deniz Atalay recently said, "We have made an enquiry for Ba however, Chelsea have not decided whether they want to keep hold of him next season."
The Eagles are reported to have made an offer for Ba on either a permanent deal or a loan move.
Ba only made six starts for Chelsea this season and is expected to fall further down the pecking order if Diego Costa joins from Atletico Madrid.
The 29-year-old joined Chelsea from Newcastle United for ?7 million in January 2013 and still has two-years left on his contract.
Ba has also attracted interest from Istanbul rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbah?e.
The Senegalese international has eight goals and three assists in all competitions for Chelsea this season.
