Neil El Aynaoui
On Wednesday, reports indicated that Fenerbahçe is considering ending its association with N'Golo Kante due to his high costs. The club's management is planning to use the freed-up salary budget on a younger, long-term midfield transfer, with Neil El Aynaoui of Roma emerging as a primary alternative. The 24-year-old Moroccan international, who can play as a central or defensive midfielder and as a number 8, has a contract with Roma until 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €23.00m. Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked with the midfielder.
Rafael Leão
