Fenerbahçe is reportedly a contender for Ukrainian international striker Roman Yaremchuk, the latest in a series of transfer links for the Turkish club. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 16 possible arrivals and 4 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Rafael Leão. Below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Mohamed Salah
On Thursday, it was reported that both Fenerbahce presidential candidates, Aziz Yildirim and Hakan Safi, are pursuing Mohamed Salah, who has left Liverpool. Salah said that his new team would probably be clear after the World Cup, but added that if he received a good project and a convincing offer, he could sign before the tournament. Aziz Yildirim stated that Salah's cost is high but said that if needed, they will get him. Hakan Safi is also working to convince the 33-year-old forward, and both candidates hope to reach an agreement with the player before the World Cup.
Roman Yaremchuk
Fenerbahçe is reportedly a contender for Roman Yaremchuk, a 30-year-old Ukrainian international striker, according to a report on Friday. The Turkish club is monitoring the forward's situation, as his future is uncertain following a loan spell at Lyon from Olympiacos. The French club is unwilling to meet the €5 million purchase clause and is attempting to negotiate a reduced fee of approximately €2.5 million. Olympiacos is reportedly not willing to lower the price, and it is said that their manager, José Luis Mendilibar, wants the player to return for a more significant role.
Vedat Muriqi
According to a report from Yağız Sabuncuoğlu on Thursday, Fenerbahçe presidential candidate Aziz Yıldırım reached an agreement with Vedat Muriqi. The report added that Mallorca demanded a transfer fee of 18 million Euro for the player, who was expected to meet with the club's board on May 29 to request that the transfer fee be reduced and the transfer facilitated.
Calvin Bassey
On Wednesday, it was reported that Fenerbahçe presidential candidate Aziz Yıldırım will travel to England for talks regarding Fulham's Nigerian defender, Calvin Bassey. In London, Yıldırım will meet with executives from the English team and the 26-year-old player's manager. Bassey is capable of playing as a centre-back and a left-back.
Serhou Guirassy
It was claimed on Wednesday that Serhou Guirassy is the player Aziz Yıldırım was referring to when Yıldırım stated that they can pay the release clause for the player they have an agreement with at any time and sign him. Guirassy's contract includes a release clause of 40 million Euros. It is also reported that Aziz Yıldırım has a preliminary agreement with the player and that Yıldırım is still negotiating with Dortmund to acquire him for a reduced fee.
Randal Kolo Muani
On Friday, it was reported that Fenerbahce presidential candidate Hakan Safi includes Randal Kolo Muani on his list of forward targets. Kolo Muani, who belongs to Paris Saint Germain, was on loan at Tottenham last season. It was stated that more definite actions will be taken in the near future to secure an agreement with the striker. It was also emphasized that Kolo Muani is receptive to the offer from Hakan Safi, and that Paris Saint Germain could facilitate a sale since the player is not part of their plans.
Mason Greenwood
According to Fanatik on Friday, Fenerbahce's presidential candidate, Hakan Safi, is trying to acquire Mason Greenwood and is planning to offer a high salary to convince the player. Marseille has set Greenwood's transfer fee at 55 million Euro due to financial difficulties and is unwilling to lower the amount. Under an existing agreement, about half of the proceeds from the sale will go to Manchester United. Hakan Safi’s representatives are focused more on the salary to be offered to Greenwood than on the transfer fee.
