Robin van Persie is edging closer to a move from Manchester United to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce confirmed ongoing dialogue with United over a proposed deal to sign the 31-year-old striker, who was in London today to undergo a medical.
As revealed by Mirror Sport back on April 6, Louis van Gaal decided his fellow Dutchman is not part of his future plans.
Fenerbahce are leading the race to sign Van Persie, despite other interest from clubs in Spain, and are poised to land him.
