The 29-year-old has a £6.5million release clause in his contract with the Super Lig outfit – Valencia and Inter Milan have already tabled offers for him.

Turkey’s Dogan News Agency also claimed recently that Jose Mourinho was leading the charge to re-sign Nani, who scored his second goal at Euro 2016 in the 3-3 draw with Hungary in Lyon on Wednesday.
