Historic transfer hijack from Fenerbahçe to Galatasaray: They made an offer for Leroy Sane!

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have clashed over many players in recent transfer windows. Sometimes the Yellow-Navy Blues secured the signatures, while on other occasions the Lions completed the deals.

GALATASARAY HAD ENTERED A WAITING PHASE

The first name both clubs have jointly targeted this summer has now emerged: Leroy Sane... The world-renowned star’s contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire. Galatasaray have been in contact with the player and his agent, Pini Zahavi, for some time. The Yellow-Reds reportedly made a very generous offer, offering an annual salary of over €10 million, and are now awaiting a response.

ON MOURINHO'S LIST

According to claims, Fenerbahçe also moved for the 29-year-old attacking player based on a report from Jose Mourinho. It is reported that the Yellow-Navy Blues have submitted an official offer for Sane as well.

AIMING FOR A STRONG START TO THE NEW SEASON

Amid internal criticism and an extraordinary congress decision set for September, Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç facing calls for his resignation is said to want to prove just how ambitious he is ahead of the new season by pulling off such a major transfer.
