The deals for Rangers pair John Lundstram and Borna Barisic to join Trabzonspor have reached the 'completion stage'.
That's according to Ertugrul Dogan, one of the Turkish club's chiefs.
The Gers duo have been in talks with the eastern European side for some weeks now, with rumours previously suggesting that offers had been accepted by both players.
Philippe Clement, while admitting that they did have deals on the table elsewhere, insists that both remain committed to Rangers and that he was unaware of anything being finalised.
Now though, it appears both of their big money moves to Turkey have been signed and sealed.
Both Lundstram and Barisic have been revealed to be two of the three transfers Trabzonspor have completed.
“Three transfers are done and another transfer is coming to an end," Dogan said. "We already had three transfers that have recently reached the completion stage."
Speaking to media outlet Haber 61, he confirmed he was referring to both Lundstram and Barisic.

Meanwhile, Rangers will be without Leon Balogun as they face arch-rivals Celtic this weekend.
And that means Ben Davies is set to start the match at Celtic Park, according to a report.
The Scottish Sun states that Balogun will not be risked by Philippe Clement after he sustained a back injury during last weekend's 4-1 victory over Kilmarnock.
Davies was a half time substitute in that game. He scored Rangers' second to set them on their way to a comfortable win against 10 men. It was his first in a Light Blues jersey.
It was the only appearance in five months for the 28-year-old. So, he's set to double his recent game time this week by making up Rangers' backline with John Souttar, Borna Barisic and James Tavernier against Celtic.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
