Fenerbahce head coach Ismail Kartal is reportedly facing growing tensions with several foreign players, including Marco Asensio, N'Golo Kante and Matteo Guendouzi, amid allegations of communication problems within the Turkish club.
According to Turkish news outlet T24, an apparent disagreement between Kartal and Spanish midfielder Asensio has developed into a broader issue, with other prominent members of the squad reportedly expressing dissatisfaction with the coach.
Some foreign players are also said to be unhappy with Kartal's post-match statements, adding to concerns about his relationship with team members.
While the initial reports centered on Asensio, the alleged problems are reportedly not limited to the Spanish international.
Kartal is also said to be experiencing communication difficulties with midfielders Guendouzi and Kante, suggesting that disagreements may involve several high-profile foreign players in the squad.
The reported tensions have raised questions about communication between the coaching staff and players, although the nature of the alleged disputes has not been detailed.
The claims remain unconfirmed, with no direct statements from the players or Kartal included in the report.
