Hamit Altintop to depart Real Madrid?

Turkish midfielder Hamit Altintop will reportedly leave Real Madrid this summer to join Galatasaray.

The 29-year-old joined the La Liga outfit from Bayern Munich last summer, but he fell out of favour in Spain, and is therefore expected to move on once more.

A personal friend of Altintop, Samsunspor striker Simon Zenke, hinted at a possible move on his Twitter account, writing: "With Hamit Altintop of Real Madrid, cool guy, I am happy he's coming to Turkey, but where? Top secret!

"I am sorry guys. He told me where he'll be going, but I can't reveal that to you unfortunately. But he's 99.9 per cent sure of coming to Turkey."

The combative midfielder has 73 international caps to his name.
