News reports from Italy and Turkey indicate veteran striker Ciro Immobile is nearing a return to Serie A with Bologna, having spent just one season at Besiktas.
On Wednesday, Immobile was reportedly in Istanbul to finalize the terms of his departure from Besiktas.
It has been confirmed that Immobile`s contract with Besiktas was mutually terminated, making him a free agent available this summer.

Further reports indicate that once the necessary procedures are finished in Turkey, Immobile will head to Italy to complete his move to Bologna.
The 35-year-old, who currently sits eighth in Serie A`s all-time scoring charts with 201 goals, is anticipated to sign a one-year contract with Bologna, including an option for a further 12 months.
Immobile is currently just four goals away from matching legendary striker Roberto Baggio`s Serie A tally and eight goals from equalling Antonio Di Natale, who is sixth on the all-time list.
In his single season with Besiktas, the former Lazio captain scored 15 league goals in 30 appearances, finishing the campaign with 19 goals across all competitions.
