The striker from France, Nicolas Anelka, may soon join the ranks of the Turkish champion club. It is said that the transfer fee could reach up to about 12 million euros, with an annual salary of about 3.5 million euros.
The 25-year-old N. Anelka did not hide his desire to leave the "Man City" team because they do not participate in the UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman was interested in several powerful European clubs, but the English team signed Fernando Morientes, the Spanish club does not seem willing to spend more money, and the player himself is not very keen on moving to Marseille.
It is expected that N. Anelka will arrive in Istanbul on Monday to finally agree on the details of the contract. The agreement should also include a clause allowing the striker to leave if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League next year.
