Emenike close to sensational move back to Fenerbahce

Emmanuel Emenike’s agent, Erdem Konyar, has revealed that Fenerbahce are discussing with Spartak Moscow, over a sensational return of the striker to Turkey.

The 26-year-old was signed by the Turkish club in 2011, but was sold to Spartak Moscow for €10 million, without playing a single game. This led to the Nigerian being detained on suspicion of the match-fixing. He was later cleared of all charges and is likely to return to Fenerbahce.

“Fenerbahçe are in talks with Spartak Moscow,” Konyar told Turkish radio station Radyospor. “Emenike likes Spartak Moscow, but loves Fenerbahçe, if the clubs agree; he would love to return to the club.

“Emenike wants to play Champions League football, he knows the staff at Fenerbahçe well and would like to play for the team.

“However, rumours that he has accepted a €2.5 million per-season deal are false, he earns more here, it’s unrealistic to believe that he will leave for a reduced salary.

“But first thing first, the clubs have to agree before we begin player negotiations.

“Spartak signed Emenike for €10 million, it is unlikely that they will let him go for a lower transfer fee.”
