Additionally, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also claimed Amartey is on the verge of signing a three year deal with Besiktas.
Amartey is currently in Turkey and is expected to complete his deal at some stage over the next 24 hours.
Amartey made 112 appearances for Leicester in seven seasons, winning the Premier League title in 2016 and the FA Cup in 2021.
He was initially linked with a move to AC Milan or Inter Milan in Italy, as well as Celtic in Scotland, but Besiktas won the race for his signature.
Amartey will be reunited with his compatriot Alexander Djiku at Besiktas, who joined the club from Strasbourg on a free transfer earlier this summer.
The two defenders are expected to be key players for Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig next season.
Amartey is a versatile defender who can play at center-back or right-back. He is known for his strength and his ability to read the game.
Besiktas is looking to challenge for the Turkish Super Lig title next season and have made strengthening the defence a priority.
