Good news for Fenerbahce from Galatasaray's Kerem Akturkoglu! Decision on transfer

Fenerbahçe has crossed an important threshold in the transfer of Kerem Aktürkoğlu. After reaching an agreement with the successful player, the Yellow-Lacivertliler also shook hands with Benfica for 25 million euros. On the other hand, the Portuguese team found one of Kerem's alternatives in the Super League.

Lage has made his decision

However, the Portuguese team insisted that the transfer should take place after the Champions League Play-Off round, while the Sari-Lacivertliler were pushing for the signature as soon as possible. Bruno Lage, the technical boss of the Red-Whites, finally gave his approval for Kerem's departure. According to reports in the Portuguese press, Lage has also presented a transfer list of players who can replace the national star.

There is time to replace him

After this development, all eyes are now on president Rui Costa. The squads for the Play-Off round of the Champions League will be announced on Thursday evening. However, 2 new names can be added to the list until 24 hours before the kick-off whistle of the first match.

For this reason, it seems likely that Benfica will allow the sale of Kerem and add a new name in the meantime. Fenerbahçe is determined to finish the job this week and is preparing to send a special plane to Lisbon again to bring Kerem to Istanbul.

Two candidates for his place: Antony & Zaniolo

Benfica continues to work to replace Kerem. Galatasaray's Yunus Akgün was one of the candidates but the successful player extended his contract. Another Lion star Nicolo Zaniolo is also on the Portuguese team's list. Benfica have also started their attempts for Antony, who is not in Manchester United's squad.
