According to British newspaper Daily Mail, Manchester City has decided to set Abdisalam İbrahim free to transfer. A host of European sides, including Sevilla, Espanyol, Real Betis, Lyon, Lille, Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, especially Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, have all been linked with a move for the centre-midfielder, but he might yet be tempted to stay at Stromsgodset when his loan contract expires.
Ibrahim is called "Neo Viera"
It's been reported that both of rivals are keen to sign with Norwegian young middlefielder. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe's target the 22-year-old midfielder, who has been compared to former Citezen Patrick Vieira in his playing style, is understood to have been told he is allowed to find a new club in January. The talented Norway Under-21 international is currently on loan at Stromsgodset and has helped the Norwegian side to the top of the Tippeligaen - with two goals and three assists - and could win the title with a single game left to play.
