Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie is edging closer to a
move to Fenerbahce after reaching an agreement in principle with the
Super Lig side, reports theguardian.com.
It is understood that Van Persie’s agent, Kees Vos, has been in
Istanbul for the past two days, involved in negotiations with the
Turkish club to secure a deal. The two clubs are currently negotiating
a fee for the 31-year-old, who has agreed personal terms with the
club and is ready to sign a four-year deal.
Since being Louis van Gaal’s captain when the Dutchman coached
Holland at last summer’s World Cup in Brazil, Van Persie’s stock has
fallen dramatically at United. When Van Gaal took over the 20-times
champions a few days after the tournament ended, Van Persie was
considered the favourite to be named United’s new leader following
Nemanja Vidic’s departure.
