Robin van Persie looks to be heading for Turkey after deal is agreed. The Turkish club had
initially offered £4.7million for the 31-year-old striker who has been offered
a three-year contract with the option of an extra year.
United value Van
Persie, who has one year left on his contract, at £10m. The club insisted no
deal was in place at the weekend but the Dutchman is understood to be
considering the move rather than risk being on the periphery of the Red Devils'
squad next season.
Fenerbahce have agreed a four-year deal to sign Robin
van Persie from Manchester United, according to Sky sources.
The Turkish club now hope to officially announce the
transfer before the weekend, but there are still some details that need to be
finalised and agreed with Van Persie himself.
Fenerbahce director Guiliano Terraneo travelled to
London recently to discuss a potential deal with United chiefs for the
31-year-old Netherlands striker, who has one year left on his contract at Old
Trafford, although United have yet to comment on the situation.
Former United winger Nani completed a move to
Fenerbahce earlier this week - worth a reported £4.5m - and the Portugal
international is keen for Van Persie to join him in Turkey.
"I haven't had the chance to talk with Robin van
Persie yet," Nani said. "But if he comes to Fenerbahce, I am sure
that he will be very successful.
"I know Robin very well and it would be the right
decision if Fenerbahce sign him."
Van Persie's potential exit could leave United short
of recognised strikers heading into the new season.
