Fenerbahçe nears deal for Malang Sarr

Activity continues at Fenerbahçe during the summer transfer window. Following the appointment of Aziz Yıldırım as president and İsmail Kartal as head coach, priority has been given to the defensive line. After the initial acquisition of Vedat Muriqi, attention has turned to signing a center-back.

Negotiations with Malang Sarr, who is a free agent and played for Lens last season, have largely reached an agreement. It has been learned that an offer including an annual salary of 8 million euros was presented to the 27-year-old French defender. However, Sarr requested this amount excluding the signing bonus. It is stated that a positive atmosphere continues in the negotiations between the parties and that a middle ground is expected to be found shortly.

Malang Sarr, who is among the priorities in Fenerbahçe's transfer policy, is planned to join the team for the UEFA Champions League qualifying match to be played on July 22. Sarr, who played an important role in the defense of Lens, which finished second in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain, demonstrated his consistency by appearing in 33 of 34 league matches last season and contributed 1 assist to his team. The player's current market value is at the level of 20 million euros.
