In 2026, 24-year-old English left-back Archie Brown was the subject of interest from Sunderland and Nottingham Forest. It was reported that a £13m bid from Nottingham Forest for the player was unsuccessful. The Fenerbahce defender, who has two caps for England U20, is now being monitored by Manchester United and Chelsea. It is said that Brown is very keen on a move back to England, but Fenerbahce's manager Ismail Kartal is not eager to sell. The club's valuation for the defender is around £17m, plus a percentage of any future sell-on fee. His contract with the Turkish club is valid until June 2028. His current market value is €12 million, according to Transfermarkt.
