Fenerbahçe has been left without a left-back following the departure of Ferdi Kadıoğlu to Brighton and the subsequent season-ending injury of Jayden Oosterwolde.
It was known that the yellow-navy management had been scouting Italy's Serie A for some time in line with head coach Jose Mourinho's report.
According to a report in Milliyet, it was noted that Fenerbahçe executives and Sporting Director Branco have initiated efforts for Antonino Gallo from Lecce and Fabiano Parisi from Fiorentina, and that they have received Mourinho's approval.
Antonino Gallo, who plays for Lecce, has been with the club since the 2019/20 season. The 24-year-old footballer, who has a contract with Lecce until 2026, has had the opportunity to play in 11 Serie A matches and 2 Italian Cup matches this season, managing to contribute with two assists.
The current market value of the 1.83-meter tall Gallo is 4.5 million euros.
The other candidate, Fabiano Parisi, plays for Fiorentina.
The Italian footballer, who is the same age as Gallo, transferred to Fiorentina last season for a high fee of 10 million euros. Parisi has also appeared in 10 matches in the league and Europe, recording 1 goal and 1 assist.
It was emphasized that Branco will soon travel to Italy to sit down with the executives of both clubs and engage in tough negotiations.
Parisi's current market value is at the 7.5 million euro level.
