According to Fanatik, Fenerbahçe are interested in Yassine Bounou because Ederson wants to leave the Istanbul club. The Moroccan goalkeeper is the highest priority for the Turkish club. The management of Al-Hilal, where the player is under contract until 2028, needs to be convinced.

Fenerbahçe is considering Al-Hilal's 35-year-old Moroccan national team goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, as a potential replacement for their current keeper, Ederson Moraes, who may be leaving the club. It has been reported that Ederson's agent has communicated a desire for a transfer, and Italian club Juventus and other European teams are said to be interested. Bounou is one of the alternatives being monitored by the Turkish club. Transfer speculation increased after Bounou followed Fenerbahçe on social media. The goalkeeper has one year remaining on his contract with the Saudi Arabian team. Bounou has 96 caps for Morocco. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m.
