Madrid strategist Jose Mourinho will not prevent Nuri Sahin from leaving the team.

Last season, Sahin, who played in matches, is especially interested in London's Arsenal, who would like to borrow him for a year, and Istanbul's Galatasaray.

"We have a young man who wants to play in every match," Mourinho said. "But Real has Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Lassana Diarra, Esteban Granero, and Mesut Ozil, so the situation is not simple.

"If Nuri stays, it won't be a problem for me. But we let him decide for himself - if he expresses a desire to leave, we will help him."

Last season, Sahin played only 8 matches in the Spanish championship and the Champions League and did not score any goals.
