Turkish international Mevlut Erdinç agrees to join Stade Rennais – Ligue 1 report
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 suggest that Turkish international, Mevlut Erdinç has agreed to join Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais from Paris Saint-Germain.
Erdinç had been linked with a move away from the Parc des Princes for a long time following the arrival of former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager Leonardo as the club’s sporting director. Though Erdinç had initially denied his willingness to leave PSG, it seemed obvious
that PSG would be willing to let go of the former Sochaux man following the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153.
Erdinç also attracted a lot of interest from English Premier League side Newcastle United but chose not to join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew’s side as at that time, the 24-year-old was still willing to stay at PSG and fight for his place in the starting line up.
Though Erdinç wanted to stay at PSG, fierce competition that now prevails at the club and being last choice striker for coach Antoine Kombouare could be cited as the two main reasons for Erdinç to move on to a new challenge.
According to lequipe.fr, Erdinç has now chosen to respond favourably to the advances made by Stade Rennais for his services. Reports in L’Equipe further suggest that Erdinç might even have agreed personal deals with the Breton club.
All that now remains to be seen is for sporting director of Rennais http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 this Wednesday and discuss a transfer fee with
his Brazilian counterpart.
Reports suggest that a fee in the region of eight million Euros might be enough for PSG to let go of the player they signed from Sochaux in the summer of 2009 for nine million Euros. Since joining the capital club, Erdinç has scored 24 goals in 65 games
for Les Parisiens.
Last season, Erdinç scored just eight goals in 22 Ligue 1 games and his inability to score goals at crucial stages could be cited as one of the main reasons why PSG are not willing to take their chances on him.
