Inter, one of the powerhouses of Italy's Serie A, has taken a step back in its transfer pursuit of Fenerbahçe's young center-back Yusuf Akçiçek. The Milan-based club has decided against meeting Fenerbahçe's 20 million euro demand.
INTER'S OFFER DEEMED INSUFFICIENT
Inter had submitted an offer of 17 million euros for the national player, but this bid was rejected by Fenerbahçe as it was not considered sufficient. The yellow-navy club aims to value its young player's potential at a higher price.
Yusuf Akçiçek played in 21 matches for Fenerbahçe last season. In these appearances, he contributed to his team by scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist.
