Fenerbahce has revealed that Robin Van Persie
joined the club for £3.84 million, denying claims
they have yet to agree a fee with Manchester
United.
Fenerbahce announced the signing of Van Persie
on Tuesday but neither club confirmed the
transfer fee, and United have not yet officially
confirmed the sale.
The Press Association and Sky Sports News
reported on Wednesday,July 15, that while the
deal is expected to go through, the clubs were yet
to agree a transfer fee for the 31-year-old.
Fenerbahce also announced the details of Van
Persie's salary. The Netherlands international,
who earned £240,000 a week at Old Trafford, will
receive a basic €4.9 million annual salary in
Istanbul, with the potential to rise by another
€800,000, depending on appearances.
A Fenerbahce statement said, according to
Turkish-football.com: "Robin van Persie has
signed a three-year contract for the 2015-2016,
2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons. The salary
will be €4.9m per season with a €20,000 match
bonus (capped at 40 games)."
Van Persie scored 58 goals in 105 games for
United but lost his place as their first-choice
striker last season.
United manager Louis van Gaal said at a news
conference in Seattle on Wednesday that he had
told Van Persie in May that he ought to leave.
"I have already had the conversation at the end of
the season so he knew already what was
coming," the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich
manager said. "We talked about the perspective
for him at Manchester United."
