Fenerbahce claim Roma will buy Salih Ucan outright for €11m after the Turkish club refused to allow him on loan.

The creative midfielder arrived on a two-year loan with option to buy in July 2014, but has made only 10 competitive appearances in a Giallorossi jersey.

He had been on the verge of a loan switch to Sampdoria this month, but that was abandoned.

“In April we will receive €11m from Roma, who suddenly decided to keep him,” said Fenerbahce President Aziz Yildirim.

“They wanted to send him out on loan to another Italian side, but we did not authorise the operation.

“Rather than see him away from Roma, we’d bring him back to us.”
