Mallorca forward and Spanish international Dani Güiza (27) will not play for Barcelona as of next season, like had been rumoured over the last months (read more here).
Fenerbahçe has announced on its official website that the player will move to Turkey this summer: "Fenerbahce signs Spanish striker Daniel Gonzalez Güiza, just days after Luis Aragonés took over as coach of the Fenerbahce side. Güiza is going to come to Istanbul on Monday to sign the official four-year contract."
The transfer has been officially confirmed by Mallorca. Fenerbahçe is believed to have paid the buyout clause of 15 million euro° (plus vat).
Güiza's agent and girlfriend Nuria Bermúdez showed some disappointment about the past months of negotiations in an interview with Spanish news site El Confidencial: "Several Spanish clubs have circled around us, they told us not to sign yet, to wait some more... But we couldn't keep on waiting, we wanted something on paper. It's a shame that in his own country they don't want the European Silver Shoe. They use to pay millions for foreign players but nothing for compatriots."

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Keep visiting the blog and spread it around if you like it.
I'm Belgian, by the way.
I would pretty much have to concur with the statement from Guiza's girlfriend. How Spanish team's could pass over last season's "pichichi" is inconceivable?! I thought for 15mil for a 27yr. old striker who led La Liga in goals seemed like a pretty good bargain when compared to some of the outrageous asking prices for other strikers. I know Guiza's not the most technically gifted striker in the world but you can't say that leading the league in goals was all pure luck either. Give the man at least some credit. Sure, he would have been a backup off the bench anyways, but he could have conceivably filled that "Larsson" role for the club that Henrik did so well a few years ago. Not saying that Guiza is as good as Larsson was mind you, but you get my point. In any event I wish him all the best of luck and hopefully we'll see him again in two years at he WC in Africa.
