The Real Madrid squad player is close to sealing a switch to Galatasaray after being disenchanted with life in the Spanish capital with a single league appearance under his belt during the 2011/12 season.
Jose Mourinho added Bayern Munich utility man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652, to the Santiago Bernabeu dressing room in order to boost his numbers and add protection to a variety of playing positions.
Throughout the course of the 2011/12 season, Altintop made five league appearances for Los Blancos with only one coming as a starter. As a result, the Turkish international is counting his last days with La Liga champions with a move to Galatasaray coming
close to fruition.
Altintop admitted recently that he is unhappy with the way the concluded season unfolded in his favour and would like a change of scenery for the next term. He explained that a return to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 in on the cards which would allow him to return to his roots
with the possibility of more playing time.
"My future? I do not know what will happen. Everyone knows that it has been a good season for me, but the injury hurt me," he said after Turkey's 3-1 international friendly victory against European minnows http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georgia-c2903.
"Now I must make a decision. I have to stay calm. I'd like to play more and Galatasaray would allow me to return to my country. We'll see," he noted.
Altintop’s agent, Reza Fazeli, revealed that he is in talks with Galatasaray to ease his return to native Turkey. He added that the talks with the Turkish giants are going according to the script they had predicted.
Continuing on the topic, Fazeli claimed that they might reach a decision before the end of the week with Altintop presented as a Galatasaray player soon after.
"Negotiations are ongoing. I can say it's going well," Fazeli said while talking to the Dogan News Agency. "I hope this transfer will be concluded by the weekend."
