Super Lig club Fenerbahce and Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have set their sights on each other's players. Fenerbahce is interested in two players from the French side, while PSG is keen on acquiring a young talent from the Turkish club.
The talks between the two teams could potentially evolve into a swap deal. Here’s a look at the names on the table and the details of the ongoing discussions.
PSG, the French Ligue 1 giant, had a remarkable season last year, clinching three major trophies, including the prestigious UEFA Champions League. However, they have yet to make any major moves during the summer transfer window. With a squad full of star players, PSG is now focusing on building for the future by scouting young talents.
PSG's search for promising young players has brought them to Türkiye. According to NTV’s reports from the French press, PSG’s negotiations with Benfica for Tiago Araujo failed to yield results, prompting them to explore alternatives.
One of the names that has come under PSG's radar is Fenerbahce’s young center-back, Yusuf Akcicek. The 2005-born player has impressed with his age, physical strength, aerial dominance, and potential, making him an attractive target. PSG's scouting team is reportedly keeping a close watch on Yusuf Akcicek, preparing a detailed report on the player.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce is also eyeing two stars from PSG. The Turkish club is reportedly nearing an agreement for Milan Skriniar's transfer, while they continue discussions with Marco Asensio regarding a potential deal.
Sources indicate that the ongoing talks between the clubs could expand to include a transfer involving Yusuf Akcicek, potentially leading to a larger transfer deal that benefits both parties.
