​Turkish club Fenerbahce are interested in signing Dutch international forward Robin van Persie from Manchester United, according to the ​Mirror.





Van Persie has been tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer after being overtaken in the club's pecking order by club captain Wayne Rooney, and has just one year left on his contract. The 31-year-old is hoping to play first team football next season and has recently admitted that he could seek it out at another club if he doesn't get it in Manchester next season.





Fenerbahce have been credited with interest in the player recently - as have domestic rivals Galatasaray - but the former have edged ahead in the race to sign him as they bid to launch a title challenge next season.





Roma and Lazio were interested too, but like Galatasaray, they have been put off by the player's hefty wage package. Last week Gala head coach Hamza Hamzaoglu revealed that Van Persie was too expensive for them to sign.





Hamzaoglu told Spor 3: " Robin van Persie is not on our agenda. The costs are very high. This year, we will be a little more careful."





However, Fenerbahce are prepared to push on with their interest in the player. Van Persie suggested earlier this month that he must evaluate his United future before the end of the summer, in order to keep him playing regular first team football in his advancing years.





According to the ​Telegraph , he said: “I must evaluate the situation. The club is doing that as well. I must consider what I really want.

“If I contemplate the negative and say I won't play much next season, that wouldn't be good for me with Euro 2016 coming up. It's a strange, difficult situation. A new situation, that's a better word.





“I have to think, in a realistic way. It's my ambition to play the next years and I'm thinking about my family and my children with every decision I take. These are very important for me.





“I'm a real family guy. I think it's fantastic to see how happy my children and wife are. That's something I take in consideration when I'm thinking about my future.”
