Balikesirspor, Mersin Idmanyurdu and Konyaspor Ponder Move For Joseph Yobo
Published: July 08, 2014
Fenerbahce manager Ersun Yanal is not hiding the fact that Joseph Yobo is not in his plans for the 2014 - 2015 campaign, with pre - season training set to begin at the start of next week.
The experienced defender, a veteran of three World Cups, has a year left before the expiration of his contract with the Turkish champions.
But the former Nigeria international is unlikely to remain in Istanbul as he is negotiating an amicable exit from the Yellow Canaries.
A couple of mid table teams in Turkey led by Balıkesirspor, Mersin İdmanyurdu and Konyaspor have expressed their interest in Joseph Yobo’s signature, writes the online edition of Fanatik.
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the 33 - year - old , who spent the second half of last season on loan at Norwich City, is presently in England weighing up his options before deciding which team to pitch his tent at.
Before the World Cup, this portal had reported that Joseph Yobo would love to continue his career in the Qatar Stars League.
The central defender is aware that only a club from the Middle East can offer him the wages which he commands.
Another reason why he prefers the Middle East to Europe is that most European clubs will only offer him a short term contract as age is not on his side unlike teams from the Gulf.
