He is expected to undergo initial fitness tests on Sunday, before his full medical on Monday.
Reports in Italy suggest Calhanoglou will cost Vincenzo Montella's side an initial €20 million, a deal that could rise in value to €24m.

Calhanoglu will become the sixth signing for Milan ahead of the new Serie A season, following Franck Kessie, Ricardo Rodriguez, Mateo Musacchio, Andre Silva and Fabio Borini in making the move to San Siro.
The Turkey international has not played since January due to a FIFA ban - upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport - relating to contract dispute with Trabzonspor, whom he is said to have agreed to join before pulling out in 2011.
Calhanoglu waived his wages for the duration of his four-month suspension and reportedly opted against an appeal in order to be available for a transfer in the off-season.
