Fenerbahce are edging closer to landing Inter midfielder Fredy Guarin, after being priced out of a move for Shakhtar Donetsk star Fred.
The 29-year-old Colombian international played his best football at the Nerazzurri during Roberto Mancini’s tenure at the club, but that may not be enough to save him from being offloaded this summer.
After Inter’s spending spree so far this past month, they are in real need of offloading a few players and Guarin could be the first to leave as they set about restructuring their squad.
Fanatik report that the Turkish giants are confident of closing a €10.5 million deal that will bring the powerful midfielder to the Super Lig in the coming weeks.
Fenerbahce finished in second position on the Super Lig table this season behind rivals Galatasaray, and have been linked with a raft of high-profile signings as they bid to reclaim their championship.
Guarin netted seven goals in 36 matches across all competitions for Inter this season.
