Sunderland midfielder Alfred N'Diaye is reportedly poised to move back to Bursaspor six months after leaving the Turkish side to join the Black Cats.
The 23-year-old has been the subject of a bid from his old club and Paolo Di Canio's side are reported to be mulling over the offer.
N'Diaye has been named in Sunderland's squad for the Barclays Asia Trophy, but Bursapor are in deep negotiations with the Black Cats over a potential move for the midfielder, reports the Sunderland Echo.
However, if a fee cannot be agreed before Di Canio's side travel to Hong Kong, the midfielder will likely stay at the Stadium of Light for the near future.
N'Diaye was signed by former Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill in January for £3.8m.
