Nuri Sahin might move from Real

The 23-year-old midfielder might leave Real after Mourinho announced he did not see him in the senior squad.

The Portuguese coach claimed Sahin was a young player who was eager to play in every match, yet he explained: ‘in Real Madrid with Khedira, Xabi Alonso, with Diarra, Ozil, Granero the situation is not easy.’

The manager said that Real Madrid was a difficult club to play for as it demanded a lot from every player, adding: ‘There are great players in our side, and when you don’t show yourself and start well, it is very difficult to do it.’

Mourinho underlined that in case the player decided to stay in Real, the club would support him, although the final decision was up to Sahin himself: ‘We leave it his hands. Be happy. You should decide what you want to decide and to be happy. If you want to leave the team is going to help you.’
