Fenerbahçe's transfer plans are taking shape with several high-profile names in the mix, including a new target from the Eredivisie, Sami Ouaissa. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 9 possible arrivals and 4 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the storyline surrounding Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka currently the hottest topic.
Sami Ouaissa
Fenerbahçe has a serious interest in NEC's 21-year-old Dutch-Moroccan right winger, Sami Ouaissa. A large delegation from the Turkish club, including football affairs manager Ertan Torunoğullari, watched the player during a match on Sunday in Nijmegen. It was reported on Monday that the delegation had specifically traveled for Ouaissa, correcting earlier reports that they were scouting another player. Fenerbahçe's pursuit currently appears to be the most concrete, and the club is considering making a significant offer. NEC is expected to ask for a price between eight and ten million euros for the winger, whose contract runs until mid-2028.
Başar Önal
On Sunday, it was reported that a delegation from Fenerbahçe was present at the NEC versus SC Heerenveen match to scout 21-year-old winger Başar Önal. The Turkish youth international had previously received concrete approaches from Besiktas and Pisa during the winter transfer window, which Önal himself decided not to pursue at that time.
Leon Goretzka
On Monday, reports emerged that Domenico Tedesco wants to reunite with his former Schalke player, Leon Goretzka, at Fenerbahçe. The midfielder will conclude his 8-year career at Bayern Munich at the end of the season and has communicated his demands to interested clubs, which include a contract lasting until at least 2029, a net annual salary of 7 million Euro, and a signing bonus of 10 million Euro. Fenerbahçe has informed Goretzka's management that it is ready to meet these demands.
Marcos Senesi
According to Fanatik on Monday, Fenerbahçe is considering signing Marcos Senesi for the center-back position. The Argentine player reportedly wants to leave Bournemouth to continue his career at a higher-level club, and the report added that Fenerbahçe has started negotiations with Senesi's management company.
Omar Marmoush
Fenerbahçe has renewed its interest in Omar Marmoush from Manchester City and has increased its contacts for the player, according to a Saturday report from Fanatik. The club had previously sounded out the player during the winter transfer window without achieving the desired result. The management's aim is to act more quickly this time and has reportedly allocated a significant budget for the 27-year-old player.
Marco Asensio
Three Spanish clubs, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal, are monitoring the situation of 30-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder Marco Asensio following his strong performances. According to a report on Sunday, official offers for the player are expected at the end of the season. Fenerbahçe has set an asking price of 25-30 million euros and will reportedly not accept any offers below this figure.
Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh
