The attacking midfielder of the Turkish national team and San Sebastian, Nihat, became the first Moscow purchase this winter, according to the website RTR-sport.ru.
Nihat, who will participate in the Champions League next year with the Russian capital club, should sign a contract in the near future after passing a medical examination.
According to the Spanish media, the 26-year-old midfielder, who missed the second part of last season due to a serious injury to the left knee ligaments, is expected to earn 11.5 million euros in four years in Russia. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad should receive about three million euros for this deal.
A couple of days ago, Moscow's Spartak agreed with Man Utd on the transfer of defender Nemanja Vidic to the English team, for which the Russian capital club will receive about 10 million euros. The transfer is expected to take place on the first day of January.
