http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 on a season-long loan deal, reports have revealed.
The Turkish International, deemed as surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu, was heavily linked to making a switch to the Premier League this summer, following genuine interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Liverpool.
At first, it appeared that the 23-year old will head for Emirates, given the Gunners presence in the Champions League competition. However, Arsene Wenger seemingly hit the deadlock with the Los Blancos over the subject of his permanent deal, once his loan
spell ended.
According to reports, after failing to reach to an agreement with the North London club, the player’s agent, Reza Fazeli, alerted the Reds about his client’s availability.
After both, Liverpool and Madrid, agreed over the terms of Sahin’s transfer on a season-long loan, the midfielder will now undergo a medical examination at the Melwood training ground, and his move is expected to be completed by the weekend.
Brendan Rodgers, the new Anfield manager, is believed to be a huge admirer of the maverick schemer. Having seen his prowess both in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, the Northern Irishman was confident he will bring extra value to the team, as he sets out on the task of
helping them finish inside the top four this season.
While talking to reporters, he said: “He's a great technician. He was the player of the season in Germany and was the captain of Borussia Dortmund. He was fantastic at a very young age and got a move to Real Madrid and obviously through injury it hasn't
quite worked out for him.”
“He's a wonderful player technically and tactically, he understands the game and we hope that his extra bit of quality coming in will really help the group.”
Sahin started his professional club career with Borussia Dortmund at a tender age of 16 – a Bundesliga record. He helped the German giants lift the 2010/11 league title, by netting seven goals and also picking up eight assists. Consequently, he was voted
as the best Bundesliga player for 2011.
He joined Madrid in May, 2011, where he went on to make just 10 appearances over a period of one year.
