Newcastle, AC Milan Targeting Tuncay Sanli?

Reports surfacing out of England and Italy have indicated that Newcastle United and AC Milan are both interested in Fenerbahce star Tuncay Sanli. Turkishsoccer.com's Ahmet Turgut is also reporting that AC Milan has expressed interest in Tuncay, but he has been less than receptive to leaving Fenerbahce. "This will only honor me. However, I do not think that I am such a great player as to be playing in Milan or Barcelona yet. However, we will discuss it when the time comes. But, I do not want to quit FenerbahCe in the team's 100th year anniversary."

Tuncay's contract with Fener runs through May 30, 2007. Tuncay will turn 25 years old in four days. Fener needs to retain the striker for a solid run in European competition, hopefully Champions League, next fall. A quick look around some of the AC Milan fan forums shows that many Milan fans are less than impressed with Tuncay. However, I'm sure they wouldn't want to see AC Milan in a rematch vs. Fener anytime this season...
