Fenerbahce finalise Meireles signing

Turkish club Fenerbahce have
signed midfielder Raul Meireles from Chelsea, the Premier League
club said on their website on Monday.
Turkish media reports said Meireles had signed a four-year
contract. Fenerbahce earlier said they had started negotiations
to buy him in a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
The 29-year-old, who has played more than 60 times for
Portugal, was signed by Chelsea on a four-year contract from
Premier League rivals Liverpool in 2011.
The Istanbul club, runners-up to Galatasaray last season in
Turkey's Super League, have been looking to bolster their
midfield after Emre Belozoglu left for Atletico Madrid on a free
transfer earlier this year.
Turkey's transfer window closes on Wednesday.
