Qatari side offers £9.5m for Majeed Waris
An unnamed Qatari side have bid £9.5m for
Trabzonspor striker Abdul Majeed Waris.
The Ghana international is thought to be on
Manchester United's radar after assistant manager
Ryan Giggs travelled to Turkey to run the rule
over him in a Europa League fixture.
However, the Red Devils could be beaten to Waris'
signature after Trabzonspor president Ibrahim
Haciosmanoglu confirmed that they have received a
bid from Qatar for his services.
“We have received offers for our foreign
players. A €12 million (£9.5m) offer has been
made for Waris,” he told Turkish television
station Bugun.
The striker's agent Phil Radley recently admitted
he was unaware of United's interest in his
client.
"I wasn't aware of Manchester United travelling to
the Europa League fixture - but Premier League
interest does not surprise me," Radley told
Goal.com.
"There were Premier League clubs looking at Waris
in the summer, but he was unlucky at the World Cup
- he picked up a thigh injury in Ghana's final
warm-up game - were it not for that he would have
started alongside Asamoah Gyan and then I think
those clubs would have come in for him.
"Waris certainly has the qualities for the Premier
League - he is very quick and strong. Clearly he
is a proven goal threat, but he is also a real
fighter who never gives up and will chase down
lost causes and put himself in dangerous areas."
Waris, 23, joined the Turkish outfit in September
and would command a transfer fee in the region of
£12m.
