Fenerbahçe's transfer activity is intensifying, with the latest incoming link concerning Burnley midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu. While the hottest storyline right now is about Mason Greenwood, our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 16 possible arrivals and 9 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important of these transfer rumours.
Virgil van Dijk
On Friday, it was said that Fenerbahçe are interested in Dutch international Virgil van Dijk. TEAMtalk has revealed that Liverpool no longer considers their captain to be untouchable. According to sources, the club is prepared to assess any serious offers. However, it is stressed that Liverpool are not actively looking to sell the player, although it is reported both the club and Van Dijk are prepared to evaluate any suitable proposal.
Lesley Ugochukwu
Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have both initiated moves to sign Lesley Ugochukwu from Burnley, according to a report on Friday. Galatasaray acted early in the process, making a loan offer with an option to buy for the 22-year-old French midfielder. Ugochukwu, who has been capped 12 times for the France U21 team, joined Burnley in August 2025 and has a contract until 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €22.00m. The midfielder moved to Burnley from Chelsea for a confirmed fee of €28.7 million.
Moise Kean
According to Fanatik on Friday, Fenerbahçe is working to sign Moise Kean. The report states that while Fiorentina initially demanded 62 million Euro, intermediaries have assured Fenerbahçe that a 20 million Euro offer could complete the transfer due to a lack of expected offers. Fenerbahçe is making every effort to have the Italian striker sign before the Champions League qualifiers. A day earlier, on Thursday, Fanatik noted that the Italian press had reported Fenerbahçe's interest and that the 26-year-old's contract contains a €62 million release clause.
Dušan Vlahović
Fanatik reported on Friday that Fenerbahçe is considering Dusan Vlahovic as a transfer target after his agent, who is also his father, approached the club with a proposal. The same report indicates that Fenerbahçe is expected to contact Vlahovic's father soon to discuss transfer conditions. Fanatik adds that Beşiktaş and several European clubs are also interested in Vlahovic, and that Technical Director İsmail Kartal wants the player in his squad.
Ollie Watkins
On Friday, Fotomaç reported that Fenerbahçe have made an offer for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, who is valued at $28 million (£21 million). A day earlier, on Thursday, Fanatik stated that Fenerbahce is very interested in a loan for Watkins that includes a mandatory purchase clause, an option Aston Villa is also said to be open to.
Serhou Guirassy
According to Fanatik on Friday, Dortmund did not find Fenerbahçe's latest offer of 35 million Euro including bonuses for Serhou Guirassy to be sufficient. The report states that Fenerbahçe has reached a principle agreement with Guirassy, and the management is considering whether to make a 40 million Euro offer. On Wednesday, Sabah had reported that Fenerbahce increased its offer to Borussia Dortmund to 35 million euros following an injury to Vedat Muriqi.
Wout Faes
According to the Belgian press on Thursday, Wout Faes is very excited about Fenerbahce and is waiting for news. It is claimed that Fenerbahce could add the Leicester player, who is entering the final year of his contract, to their squad for a fee under 5 million Euro. On Wednesday, the Belgian media outlet 'voetbalnieuws' reported that the club has made significant progress in the transfer and will acquire Faes for a modest transfer fee.
