HE MAY HAVE been paraded in front of the adoring fans in Istanbul on Tuesday, but it appears that Robin van Persie may have to wait before he can call himself an official Fenerbahce player.
Reports say that despite the Dutch striker agreeing terms and completing a medical at the club, Manchester United and the Turkish giants are still negotiating the most important element of the deal; the price.
While it may just be a matter of time, with both clubs eager to wrap up a deal, Sky Sports News are reporting that no fee has been agreed between the clubs.
With Van Persie deemed surplus to requirements by manager Louis Van Gaal, the 32-year-old striker was allowed to discuss personal terms as the clubs thrashed out a deal, although there must have been a certain degree of shock for United’s executives, as the saw their player playing keepy-ups with his son in front of the wild Fenerbahce fans yesterday.
