Barcelona presents serious efforts to loosen Robin van Persie with his Turkish club Fenerbahçe. The Catalans want to take over the Dutchman in the winter.
Van Persie (32) swapped Manchester United last summer for Fenerbahçe. The top scorer of Orange signed a three-year contract with the Turkish club. However, he has not found his niche with his new employer. Especially by enforcing a bad relationship with coach Vitor Pereira Van Persie may still not lead to Fenerbahce.

Last Tuesday was Robert Fernández, technical director of FC Barcelona, in the Amsterdam Arena on the stand at the match Netherlands-Czech Republic. Afterwards he spoke with agents of the attacker to gauge whether there is in his interest to move to the Spanish champions. The top scorer of Orange should serve as a stand-in for the world star Messi-Neymar-Suarez. Barcelona notices that there is a need for such a player now Lionel Messi extended period of time on the injured side seat.
It is not the first time that the club opted for a similar solution. In 2004, thirty-something Henrik Larsson was acquired from Celtic. He made several important goals in two seasons. The French striker Thierry Henry relocated in later life to the Catalan capital.
Some people pan balague but I think he is ok. Hope he is correct on this
Watch it in the end be true though, this seems like something our board would do if we want to get a Cheap and older striker.Contrary to several reports in past days, Barcelona are not interested in Fenerbahce forward Robin van Persie (32). [sky]
Instead of Nolito, we should move for that guy who did so well for Sevilla in a wide forward role last season. I know he's gone off the radar a bit this season, but I'm sure he can get back into form quick enough.
