Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are both ready to offer former Manchester United star Patrice Evra a return to football.
The former French international has been without a club since his contract at Marseiie was summarily terminated after he kicked one of the club’s supporters in the head following an altercation before the team played Portugal’s Vitoria Guimares in a Europa League tie last month. To make matters worse he was also given a ban from all UEFA competitions until June 2018 as a result of his actions.
Now it looks like Evra will be offered a way back into football in Turkey once his ban has finished next year.
Evra spent 8 years at United and won 5 Premier League titles, a Champions League and 3 League Cups during his time at Old Trafford. He also enjoyed a successful spell at Juventus, winning 2 Serie A titles whilst with the Italian club.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
