Joining them means taking a great leap in my career." said the Turkish star player. This signing was a José Mourinho's wish, in order to improve Real Madrid's strenghts in the midfield and allows the possibility for the coach to rotate key players more often, without reducing the team's capacities.
Nuri Sahin: "I didn't choose Real Madrid for money. I chose it because it's the greatest club in the world. It's impossible to say no to its history and current project. José Mourinho convinced me immediatly. We met here in Dortmund one day. He is one of the best coaches in the world and I'm dying to work with him. It will be a great challenge.", reckonized the Turkish player. However, Real Madrid's assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, already noted that Sahin is very young and it may take him some time to adapt to Real Madrid.
