A delegation from Fenerbahçe was reportedly present at the NEC versus SC Heerenveen match to scout 21-year-old winger Başar Önal, who also holds Dutch nationality. The Turkish youth international, who has 7 caps and 1 goal for the Türkiye U21 team, has previously received transfer interest, as both Besiktas and Pisa made concrete approaches for him during the winter transfer window, which Önal himself decided not to pursue at that time. In the current Eredivisie season, Önal has scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists in 25 appearances for NEC, which he joined in July 2024. He currently has a contract with the club that runs until the summer of 2028, and Transfermarkt values him at 4 million euros.
