After finishing the season without a league title and watching archrival Galatasaray celebrate once again, Fenerbahce has intensified efforts to build a star-studded squad under new manager Jose Mourinho.
Club president Ali Koc, facing mounting pressure ahead of the upcoming club elections, is determined to reinforce the team with internationally recognized players.
One of the top targets is German winger Leroy Sane, whose contract with Bayern Munich has recently expired.
While Galatasaray has been pursuing Sane, using its UEFA Champions League qualification as leverage, Fenerbahce has entered the race with a more lucrative offer.
According to reports, Galatasaray proposed a €10 million annual salary, but Fenerbahce has offered a deal worth nearly €15 million per year, gaining the upper hand in negotiations.
In addition to Sane, Fenerbahce is also targeting Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic as a replacement for Edin Dzeko.
President Koc has contacted Juventus’ new football director, Damien Comolli—formerly of Fenerbahce—to initiate talks.
Sources say Koc is committed to forming one of the most valuable squads in Türkiye football history, with multiple high-profile negotiations ongoing.
