Fenerbahçe, which is seeking to strengthen its stopper position, has made an offer to Al-Hilal for its former player, the 20-year-old Turkish international Yusuf Akçiçek. Al-Hilal would be open to the player's transfer to Fenerbahçe if a changing foreign player rule prevents them from registering him in the main squad. Fenerbahçe sold the player to the Saudi club at the beginning of the season for a €22 million fee, which included a clause for a 15% share of a future sale. The centre-back has made 3 appearances for Türkiye and has played in 8 league games for Al-Hilal this season. His contract with the club runs until 2029, and his current market value is €16.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
