Following closely behind Galatasaray in the Super League, Fenerbahce is facing a period of intense activity. Amidst debates regarding the club’s history during the general assembly, the Fenerbahce management has initiated transfer operations for the upcoming season.
Senad Ok, a correspondent for Milliyet Newspaper, recently shared his insights on Fenerbahce’s latest developments in an Instagram live broadcast.
Key Transfer Targets and Challenges
According to senad Ok, “Fenerbahce was very optimistic about Sane. I learned from the Galatasaray front and we knew that fenerbahce made better offers. There was information that Sane was close to Fenerbahçe. There are developments that the business has returned to Galatasaray today. Champions League is a very important factor.”
Ok added, “Fenerbahce will transfer to many regions. Fenerbahce Kevin also took care of Bruyne Naples went to Naples. He was interested in Sane, close to Galatasaray, Kovacic had also thought of it and then he did not. There is no one. Fenerbahce transfer is not easy.”
“Champions League is a very critically important factor.”
The pursuit of players like Skriniar, Kostic, Tadic, and Dzeko has also presented challenges. “Skriniar, Kostic, Tadic and Dzeko went, there are names who want to go. It’s not just about the budget. When your opponent aspire to and gives the same money, the Champions League is an important factor,” Ok explained.

Financial Constraints and Future Uncertainties
“Fenerbahce wants Skriniar, but we are talking about more than 10 million money. there will be a difficult transfer period. Fenerbahce needs 9-10 players. Fred is the only player guaranteed next season. Even the future of Ali Koç and Mourinho is not clear,” said Ok.
He further noted, “For example, if Kevin de Bruyne or Sane came, he could calm down. He didn’t, the name of Mitrovic is on the agenda. Al Hilal’s condition is expected. President Ali Koç or Acun Ilıcalı’nın every speech is reflected in the negative reflection of the transfer agenda with the election agenda increases. the most difficult summer period I have seen will be experienced in Fenerbahce.”
Osayi’s Status and Other Potential Departures
Regarding Osayi’s future, Ok stated, “There is no negative or positive situation with Osayi. I can’t say it was exactly closed. If you lose a good right -back without finding a right -back,you start to have trouble from all sides. There are those who want Osayi from Türkiye, but I can not say that it is indeed definitely closed.”
Mimovic’s situation is also uncertain, with Ok suggesting, “We interpret Mimovic as the teacher does not want. So you don’t see enough and you are thinking of going to a better right -back.”
Other names on the agenda include Mitrovic,Igor Paixao,and Laporte. Ok also believes that Cenk is likely to leave,citing dissatisfaction within the team due to limited playing time for players like Ismail and Irfan Can.
Internal Conflicts and the Signature Process
Ok highlighted significant internal issues: “There is a big problem to be transferred to each region. there are two different opinions on the board of directors in Fenerbahçe for Mourinho.President Ali Koç will make the final decision. The president’s request is in favor of stability.”
The signature process for transfers may also face delays. “Although the signatures are given, the process can hang until September. It is said to be difficult before September by the authorities. Ali Koç said that if the signature is collected, I would not be a candidate,” Ok concluded.
