Fenerbahçe, having appointed İsmail Kartal as head coach, continues its goal of a strong start to the season with its transfer moves. For the left-back position, which is seen as one of the team's primary needs, an agreement is close to being reached with 27-year-old Brazilian footballer Mauro Junior. It is reported that the club is very close to reaching a consensus on personal terms in its discussions with the player's side.
Regarding developments in the transfer, PSV Eindhoven has clarified its demands regarding the transfer fee.

The experienced left-back, who appeared in a total of 37 official matches for PSV last season, contributed 1 goal and 11 assists to his team.
