Besiktas only sit fifth in the league table halfway through the season with 28 points from 17 games, trailing table toppers Trabzonspor by 14 points.
Therefore, head coach Bernd Schuster is eager to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window in an attempt to get back in the title race and the German gaffer apparently sees Simao as the perfect addition to his squad.
Simao's current contract with Atletico runs until the summer of 2011 and the Rojiblancos are hesitant to offer the winger a new deal and they could very well decide to cash in on Simao this winter.
The report claims that all parties involved have already agreed terms and the deal will be finalised on Thursday.
