ISTANBUL, July 22 (Reuters) - HSBC is set to agree to sell its Turkish business to Dutch lender ING Group (Swiss: INO.SW - news) for around $700-$750 million in the next few days, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

ING, which already has a presence in Turkey, was one of three banks to submit a non-binding bid in May, sources previously told Reuters. The others were Bahrain's Arab Banking Corp (ABC (HKSE: 1288.HK - news) ) and France's BNP Paribas (Xetra: 887771 - news) .
