Van Persie in talks to leave Man Utd for Fenerbahce

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie is in talks with Fenerbahce over a move to the Turkish club.

According to a report in The Guardian, Van Persie’s agent Kees Vos has spent the past48 hours in negotiations with Fenerbahce talking over a deal.

The report states that United are yet to agree a fee with Fenerbahce for the Holland international but that the player is keen on the move and wants to sign a four-year contract.

Van Persie’s future has been the subject of speculation all summer, with the player admitting that he was considering leaving the club he joined from Arsenal in 2012 for £25million.

“I must evaluate the situation,” Van Persie said last month. “The club is doing that as well. I must consider what I really want.

“If I contemplate the negative and say I won’t play much next season, that wouldn’t be good for me with Euro 2016 coming up. It’s a strange, difficult situation. A new situation, that’s a better word.

“I have to think, in a realistic way. It’s my ambition to play the next years and I’m thinking about my family and my children with every decision I take. These are very important for me.

“I’m a real family guy. I think it’s fantastic to see how happy my children and wife are. That’s something I take in consideration when I’m thinking about my future.”
