Fenerbahce ‘begin talks with Luis Nani and his club Manchester United’

Manchester United winger Nani is set to join Turkish side Fenerbahce after spending the last year on loan at Sporting Lisbon, the Istanbul club said Friday on their Twitter account.

“Fenerbahce has begun talks with Luis Nani and his club Manchester United to transfer the player,” the club said, adding that Nani would be in Istanbul on Sunday to undergo a medical examination.

Nani joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2007. During his time at Old Trafford, he has won four Premier League titles and a Uefa Champions League crown.

He signed a five-year deal in September 2013. However, he struggled to hold down a first-team place under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, who took over as manager from Moyes, and agreed to be sent out on loan to his former club.

Reports said that a transfer fee for the 28-year-old Portuguese international was being agreed in the region of €6 million (Dh24.4m).
