Arsenal
have made a last minute attempt to stall Nuri Sahin’s loan move from
Real Madrid to Liverpool as they consider selling Alex Song to Barcelona
for £15m, according to the Daily Mail.
The Gunners asked Sahin to delay any move until the future of Song
had been resolved, a request which the 23-year-old Turkish international
has agreed to. It is believed that Sahin would prefer a move to a club
that can offer Champions League football, a lure which Arsene Wenger hopes will sway the midfielder’s mind.
The centre midfield star was considered the best player in the Bundesliga
two seasons ago but has failed to adapt in the Spanish capital under
Jose Mourinho. After barely featuring in Real Madrid’s triumphant La Liga
campaign in the 2011/12 season and a pre-season of playing in a
left-back role, it is obvious both player and club are keen to see a
loan move. Sahin has five years remaining on his contract at the
Bernabeu, and even a ‘sell and buy-back’ clause is included. There is no
lack of confidence that the young midfielder can fulfill his potential
and play regularly for the Spanish champions in the future.
