Fenerbahce offer Real Madrid's Helguera £5M-a-year

Fenerbahce are offering a double-your-money contract to want-away Real Madrid defender Ivan Helguera.

Fener directors are anxious to land a big-name star during their Centenary year and after failing to coax Roberto Carlos from Real are now throwing money at Helguera.

The Turkish giants are willing to pay Helguera a staggering £5 million-a-year and the player was informed of the offer yesterday. However, the Spain international has turned it down, insisting he does not want to move to Istanbul.
