Fanatik claim Fenerbahce are close to confirming the signing of Leicester City’s Adrien Silva as the Turkish club looks to loan the Portugal international until the end of the season.
It’s reported Fenerbahce sporting director Damien Comolli has held talks with Leicester City and the player, but the final decision will be made by the Istanbul club’s manager Ersun Yanal.
According to Fanatik, Yanal’s first choice is Besiktas midfielder Tolgay Arslan but if Fenerbahce can’t convince their local rivals over the Turkey international then the Leicester City player will be brought in.
Once Yanal gives the green light to bringing in Silva, the Portuguese midfielder will travel to Istanbul for a medial.
It’s claimed Silva and Islam Slimani are close friends and the 29 year old would be happy to play for the Super Lig club until the end of the season.
After joining from Sporting in 2017 Silva has failed to make his mark at Leicester City and it seems he isn’t in the plans of Claude Puel.
The player is under contract with the Foxes until 2021.
