Fenerbahçe targets Asensio and Lille’s two stars! Move initiated

Fenerbahçe’s transfer work is progressing rapidly. While in contact with many players, two new names have emerged on the club’s radar.

ALL EYES ON TWO STAR PLAYERS

Planning to strengthen the left-back and wing positions, the management has set its sights on two stars who have decided to leave Lille: Edon Zhegrova and Gabriel Gudmundsson… Both players’ contracts expire at the end of next season. Lille is open to offers for Zhegrova and Gudmundsson, who are unwilling to extend their deals and want to move on. Speaking at the presentation of new transfers, Lille President Letang said regarding Edon Zhegrova, “It doesn’t make sense to keep a player whose contract expires next year.”

TWO RIVALS FOR ZHEGROVA

Napoli and Everton are also monitoring the Kosovan winger. Lille previously set the 26-year-old’s transfer fee at 30 million euros. However, the French club has dropped the price to 20 million euros. One reason for this is Zhegrova’s absence from the field since December due to an adductor muscle injury. Nonetheless, the talented player has resumed training.

GUDMUNDSSON FOR 10 MILLION EUROS

The other player expected to leave the French club is left-back Gudmundsson. The Swedish defender is also on the radar of newly promoted Premier League side Leeds. However, the English club has not yet made an offer. Lille’s asking price for Gudmundsson is said to be 10 million euros. It is claimed that Fenerbahçe may approach the French club with a 25 million euro offer for both stars.

PRESIDENT IS VERY KEEN ON ASENSIO

Fenerbahçe is also planning to sign a center-back, a left-back, a midfielder, and a winger. For this reason, Ali Koç wants to loan Asensio to allocate more of the budget to other signings. The president will personally intervene. Ali Koç is preparing for a private meeting with PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is a close friend. During the winter transfer window, Koç had also personally moved for Milan Skriniar and secured the Slovak star from Galatasaray’s grasp thanks to his friendship with Al-Khelaifi. Ali Koç is optimistic about Asensio as well. However, if Fenerbahçe’s loan plan falls through, Marco Asensio—strongly desired by Mourinho—will be added to the squad on a permanent transfer.
