Fenerbahçe is seeking to strengthen its centre-back position and is pursuing 22-year-old Spanish-Colombian defender Cristhian Mosquera from Arsenal. This pursuit is based on a list from manager İsmail Kartal. The club, which is searching for a player under 23, has begun efforts to sign the young player on loan.

Following the transfer of Konsa, Arsenal has six players capable of playing in the centre-back role, which could result in a departure from that position. The final decision on Mosquera's situation has been left to manager Mikel Arteta by the Arsenal board. Mosquera joined Arsenal in July 2025 and has a contract with the club until 2030. According to Transfermarkt, he is valued at €40.00m. He has also received two caps for Spain.
