Emre considering offers

Internazionale midfielder Emre says his first choice is to play outside of Turkey.

Internazionale midfielder Emre has insisted his first choice is to continue playing outside of Turkey, as reports continue to link him with a move to Newcastle.

The diminutive Turk seems set to head out of Milan this summer and a clutch of clubs have expressed interest in the schemer.

Fenerbahce are eager to bring him back to Turkey and have tabled an offer for his services.

It is being suggested that Newcastle are in pole position for his services - with reports suggesting the midfielder has entered into talks with The Magpies.

Emre would not be drawn on the reports, but would appear to be open to a move to Newcastle by revealing his desire to play outside of Turkey.

"I have said nothing definite," said Emre. "I have told my agent to tell Fenerbahce that I will think about their offer, but that's all.

"It's nice to be wanted, but my primary goal is to continue playing outside Turkey.

"I want things to be solved as soon as possible, but the situation prevents this from happening at the moment."
