Both clubs have confirmed the deal with official statements on their websites.

Lang had joined the Partenopei on a permanent €25m transfer from PSV last summer, but he was rarely a starter under Antonio Conte and only grabbed one goal and two assists in 27 appearances with the Partenopei in the first part of the campaign.

Lang landed in Turkey on Thursday and received a warm welcome from his new fans.

It was a busy day for Napoli as they also confirmed Lorenzo Lucca’s move to Nottingham Forest on loan with an option to buy.

Napoli have reached an agreement to sign promising Verona striker Giovane, and according to Sky, the Partenopei are pushing for the 22-year-old to have medical tests tomorrow to be available against Juventus on Sunday.
