I don't think RM is in for RVP. Sahin isn't going to get any playing time if Modric comes in so he needs to go out on loan if he wants to play. AVB doesn't seem to want him and we just have to accept that.
I know Levy likes to get involved in transfers. I simply refuse to believe he'd push hard to get a player who the coach is dead-set against having. And up until some point last week, we'd been pushing to get Sahin in.
Sahin monstered the Bundesliga and came through the ranks of a storied club - one of the biggest in Germany (a not insignificant footballing country we can all agree) - and then signed with the original and still the best 800 lbs gorilla football club. All this well before his 25th birthday. The prospect of joining THFC, with it wage limitations and Europa League football, might not seem as enticing to him as it does to you or I.
