Manchester United midfielder Nani is expected to jet into Turkey today to undergo a medical ahead of his proposed switch to Fenerbahce, as per Milliyet (via Turkish Football). Furthermore, the newspaper claims that the transfer will be official within 24 hours.
The 28-year-old scored 12 goals in 35 appearances for Sporting Lisbon last season and was in mesmeric form ever since returning back to the club he was at, prior to his move to Old Trafford in 2007.
However, it seems Sporting were not able to afford the Portuguese star’s hefty wages or even his price tag, which has promoted Turkish giants Fenerbahce to swoop in.
The aforementioned report claims that Nani will arrive in Istanbul this evening and will undergo a medical before completing his transfer to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
Nani had the highest Performance Score in the Sporting side in the Champions League last season
United were still paying Nani’s wages despite his return to Portugal last season and the playmaker, who has three years left on his current contract after signing a new deal under David Moyes, was never expected to stay in Lisbon, as per Metro
Nani – who won the Player of the Month award in November and also got his hands on the Taca de Portugal trophy thanks to a penalty shoot-out victory over Sporting Braga in the last campaign – will be hoping he can shine in Turkey with a clean slate on the table.
