Fenerbahce have reached agreement with Lille for the signing of striker Moussa Sow.

The Turkish giants have informed the Stock Exchange that they will pay an initial 10 million for the forward's services, with an additional €3 million in the form of bonuses.

The French champions are also understood to be liable for an extra €1.5m should Fener choose to sell the player in the future.

Moreover, L'Equipe claims the former Rennes star will commit to a contract until 2015, and pocket
€2.6m a year, after meeting with officials from his prospective new employers in Paris on Wednesday evening.

Sow, who is currently preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, stated on Monday that he wished to join Liverpool and, according to reports in Turkey, had not given up on the idea of moving to Anfield.

The 25-year-old has seen his stock rise immeasurably since his transfer to Lille last summer, after his 25 Ligue 1 goals massively contributed to the modest outfit's title success in 2010-11.
