PLDC - Iranian midfielder Ali Karimi has arrived in the Turkish capital of Istanbul on Tuesday after being linked with three Turkish teams.

The Turkish outlet ‘Fanatik’ reported that Trabzonspor eyes the 26-year-old midfielder and that Karimi is in Turkey to discuss the contract with the club’s officials.
