Reports - RVP signs for Fenerbahce
The Turkish club now hope to officially announce the transfer before the weekend, but there are still some details that need to be finalised and agreed with Van Persie himself.
Fenerbahce director Guiliano Terraneo travelled to London recently to discuss a potential deal with United chiefs for the 31-year-old Netherlands striker, who has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, although United have yet to comment on the situation.
Former United winger Nani completed a move to Fenerbahce earlier this week - worth a reported £4.5m - and the Portugal international is keen for Van Persie to join him in Turkey.
"I haven't had the chance to talk with Robin van Persie yet," Nani said. "But if he comes to Fenerbahce, I am sure that he will be very successful.
"I know Robin very well and it would be the right decision if Fenerbahce sign him."
Van Persie's potential exit could leave United short of recognised strikers heading into the new season.
