Fenerbahce's Nani not swayed by lucrative move to China

Nani reveals that he rejected a big-money move to the Chinese Super League because his focus is on winning trophies, not money.

Fenerbahce winger Nani has revealed that he turned down a lucrative move to a Chinese Super League club because he is more interested in winning trophies.

The Portuguese player, who joined Fenerbahce from Manchester United in 2015, was the subject of a €20m (£15.4m) bid from an unnamed Chinese team.

The country's league has already recruited high-profile players including Ramires, Alex Teixeira and Jackson Martinez, but Nani opted to stay with his Turkish club.

"Both for our club and even for me, this was a huge bid in economic terms," Nani told Fenerbahce's official website. "But I look at this offer - the first goal is not to win money. I want to achieve my goals in football.

"I came here with some goals and some targets. I saw love here and people have been very good to me from the first day. I have certain goals that I want to achieve with the team and I do not want to leave them halfway through the season."

Nani has scored eight goals in 29 appearances this season.
