Real Madrid chasing Borussia Dortmund star Nuri Sahin
According to reports coming out of the Spanish capital, La Liga giants Real Madrid are highly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund playmaker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, in the upcoming summer transfer window. The highly-rated midfielder’s situation is being closely
monitored by the Spaniards, and Sahin sublime form has clearly impressed his suitors.
The Turkish International could be on his way out of the German club by the end of this season. It is rumored that Real Madrid officials have been monitoring Sahin’s progress throughout the season and are making arrangements to table an offer for the player
by the end of this season. The Madrid giants were previously linked with Yaya Toure of Manchester City and are also reported to be highly interested in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112. However, it is now understood that the Spanish side has now
turned its attention towards the 22-year-old and it seems that the Turkish International would be linking up with his friend Mesut Oezil at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Nuri Sahin is a product of the famed Dortmund youth academy and in his short career with the Bundesliga side, Sahin has already made over 150 appearances. Sahin’s contract with Borussia Dortmund runs until the summer of 2013. However, reports indicate that
the prodigious midfielder has a minimum release clause of 6 million Euros inserted in his contract, meaning Real Madrid won’t have to dig deep into their pockets to buy the player.
22-year-old Sahin holds the record for being the youngest player ever to score a goal in Bundesliga, as he opened his domestic goal account against Nuremberg at the age of 16 years and 335 days. In 2007, he was loaned out to the Dutch side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258, where
he played 29 games and scored 6 goals. For http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, Sahin has played 24 games so far and has scored one goal.
Borussia Dortmund are the current German league leaders, well on their way to lifting the coveted Bundesliga plate. Much of this has been due to the excellent performances of Nuri Sahin, who paired up excellently with Japanese international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364
in the first half of the season and later with Mario Goetze, after Kagawa’s season ending injury at the AFC Asia Cup. Sahin’s midfield versatility and tenacity on the pitch has alerted many top European clubs and it won’t be a surprise if the young Turk initiates
a few tug of wars between the European giants in the upcoming transfer window.
