Fenerbahçe’s historic transfer operation! Star-Studded shortlist revealed

Head coach Domenico Tedesco and his staff have identified the priority positions for reinforcement. The board has begun working through the extensive lists prepared for each area, and significant movement is expected in the coming weeks.

All Efforts for Lewandowski

President Sadettin Saran dreams of making a global splash in his first transfer period by signing Robert Lewandowski. However, securing the Polish superstar in January appears extremely complicated.
Lewandowski is ready to leave Barcelona, yet the Spanish giants prefer to keep him until his contract expires at the end of the season.

Despite the difficulties, Fenerbahçe remain determined and will try everything to bring the 37-year-old striker to İstanbul this winter.

Waiting Game for Depay

Dutch forward Memphis Depay was offered to Fenerbahçe by intermediaries, and the club added him to their shortlist.

However, any official move depends on Depay terminating his contract with Corinthians. The Brazilian club, facing financial problems, is working to end the deal.
His situation is expected to become clear next month once the Brazilian season concludes.

Offer Incoming for Quinten Timber

Quinten Timber has rejected Feyenoord’s latest renewal proposal. Not wanting to lose the 24-year-old midfielder for free at the end of the season, the Rotterdam club will consider offers in January.

Although his market value is listed at €30 million, he is expected to be available for significantly less. Fenerbahçe are preparing to submit an offer for the Dutch international.

Intense Competition for Mainoo

Fenerbahçe recently added Kobbie Mainoo to their midfield targets. Manchester United are ready to send the 20-year-old out on loan, making the deal financially attractive.

However, heavy competition poses the biggest challenge — Napoli, Lazio, Newcastle and West Ham are also in the race.

Fenerbahçe will have to battle these clubs to secure the talented midfielder.

Tedesco Wants Baumgartner

Sporting director Devin Özek had approached Christoph Baumgartner earlier this season and remains keen on the Austrian star.

Tedesco also wants the 26-year-old in his squad. Convincing Leipzig will be tough, but Fenerbahçe are considering including Sebastian Szymanski — a player Leipzig admire — in a potential swap deal.

The Final Surprise: Sancho

Linked with Fenerbahçe throughout the summer, Jadon Sancho has once again entered the club’s radar.

The English winger’s loan spell at Aston Villa has not gone as planned, pushing him to seek a new start.

Sancho recently travelled to Istanbul with his agent, reportedly to meet a Fenerbahçe official and discuss a possible transfer.

Tedesco previously noted that the squad lacks a true winger “who can beat his man in one-on-one situations,” making Sancho a highly attractive option.
