Chemsdine Talbi is reportedly one of Fenerbahçe's main priorities for the next winter transfer window. According to Fotomaç, the Turkish club wants to strengthen its attacking department and views the Sunderland winger as a profile capable of bringing more speed and directness on the flanks. Fenerbahçe is said to be particularly impressed by the player’s technical qualities and explosiveness. The player's profile matches the needs identified on the attacking wings. The Turkish club could therefore make an approach during the next transfer period in an attempt to convince Sunderland. Talbi is under contract with the Black Cats until June 2030.

According to Team Talk, Fenerbahce explored the possibility of a move for Chemsdine Talbi, although the pursuit did not happen.

21-year-old Moroccan international winger Chemsdine Talbi is seeking to leave Sunderland FC after his position in the team hierarchy has lowered. An indication of this is his exclusion from the club's European squad list. Sunderland's coach, Regis Le Bris, has acknowledged that a transfer is possible, stating that the player's wishes must be respected. The Saudi club Al-Ittihad has been mentioned as a significant candidate to sign him. Turkish clubs Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are also interested in signing the player. Any potential move to Turkey would need to be expedited, as the transfer window there closes at midnight. Reports in September 2026 suggested an asking price of €30 million. This was a decrease from the €45-55 million that was reportedly sought in March 2026. The player has a current market value of €25 million, according to Transfermarkt, and joined Sunderland from Club Brugge in July 2025 for a reported €20 million.
