2011-05-03 @ Fenerbahce news

Fenerbahce have made an offer for Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor. Adebayor is on-loan at Real Madrid until June and the Spanish giants will not be seeking a permanent deal for the Togo international. Sabah says Fener made contact with City and indicated they're prepared to pay £16 million for Adebayor. Adebayor is reluctant to move to Istanbul, however.

Fenerbahce didn't want to see Penny Taylor leave the team this season late in the Qualifying Round but the Australian departed, citing personal reasons.

Now the Turkish club has the forward back, with Taylor agreeing to extend her contract for a year.

The club has announced in a statement: "The Australian player of our championship team, Penny Taylor, extended her contract with Fenerbahce for one more year.

"Penny Taylor wore the Fenerbahce jersey in the last year, too.

"We wish Taylor success."

Taylor played nine games and finished as the EuroLeague Women's top scorer at 19.2 points per game last season.

The club reached the Quarter-Finals of the EuroLeague Women and also defended its Turkish league title.

Man City join rivals in the hunt for Shakhtar starlet Douglas Costa

The Brazilian, 20, is a long-term target of Manchester United and Chelsea, but his agent Cesar Bottega said: 'I have spoken a few times with Manchester City. 

'They have shown interest in the player and are now considering whether to enter into a negotiation or not. I am planning a trip to Europe in a fortnight, but if something were to change, I'm ready to leave earlier.' 

 

Wanted: Douglas Costa has attracted interest from several clubs

City expect Emmanuel Adebayor to return to Eastlands this summer after Real Madrid decided not to take up the option to buy him at the end of the season. Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce have expressed interest. Real are keen on Chelsea's Didier Drogba. 

City, meanwhile, have tabled a £500,000 offer for Crewe starlet Dan Smith. The midfielder, 15, scored a hat-trick against Liverpool's youth side this week.
