2 candidates for the number 8 position at Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe has accelerated its transfer efforts to strengthen the midfield. Head coach Domenico Tedesco stated that he is not satisfied with Fred's performance and requested the acquisition of a new player for this position. In this direction, Brazilian player Wendel, who plays for Zenit, and Juventus's American player McKennie have entered Fenerbahçe's radar. Wendel, in particular, had previously been on the club's agenda.

Fenerbahçe plans to hold talks with both the players and their clubs during the mid-season transfer window. In addition, reinforcements are also being considered for the center-back and forward positions. The injury risk of Jhon Duran, the drop in form of En Nesyri, and Cenk Tosun being excluded from the squad make a striker transfer mandatory. President Sadettin Saran and the board members will continue their contacts to add a star name to the squad during this process.
