Fenerbahçe has shown interest in Granit Xhaka. Fenerbahçe's Sporting Director Mario Branco has met with Xhaka's agent to discuss financial terms. The 32-year-old midfielder from Leverkusen is also being pursued by Galatasaray, who are seeking a replacement for Dries Mertens. Xhaka's father and representative recently visited Istanbul to explore the city and facilities, indicating a serious consideration of a move. Despite the interest from both Istanbul clubs and teams from Saudi Arabia, Xhaka has not yet made a decision about his future.
