According to a report from 225foot in Ivory Coast, Fenerbahce has started taking action regarding Salzburg's Karim Konate. The report states that Fenerbahce is seeking a young, explosive forward who can provide immediate performance, and has identified the striker as their primary candidate.

The Turkish club Fenerbahçe is interested in Karim Konaté, a 22-year-old Ivorian forward who plays for RB Salzbourg. The player is reportedly not hurrying to decide on his future and is said to prefer a transfer to a club in one of Europe's five major leagues. After spending over three years with the Austrian team, Konaté appears prepared for the next stage of his career. His current club, with whom he has a contract until June 2028, is understood to be open to his departure for a substantial offer.
