Fenerbahce would be able to buy the 29-year-old after the British transfer deadline because the Turkish window is open until midnight on Wednesday.

Reports suggest an £8m bid has been submitted for the Portuguese international.

A Fenerbahce spokesman told BBC Sport: “The club are in talks and are hopeful that a deal can be completed.”

Meireles moved to Chelsea from Liverpool for a reported £12m on transfer deadline day a year ago.

On Friday, Chelsea allowed midfielder Michael Essien to join Real Madrid on a season-long loan.
