Fenerbahçe is pushing hard for the transfer of Kerem Aktürkoğlu. Benfica President Rui Costa is determined to delay the process due to the Champions League qualifiers and upcoming elections.

Fenerbahçe continues its contacts for Kerem Aktürkoğlu, one of the hottest names on its transfer agenda. Officials from the yellow-navy club have traveled to Portugal to accelerate the transfer process and have begun negotiations with the Benfica side.
However, the Benfica side is taking the transfer slowly. Due to both the Champions League qualifying matches and the upcoming presidential election, President Rui Costa is maintaining a cautious stance regarding the transfer.
According to Sercan Hamzaoğlu, Rui Costa's thoughts on the transfer are as follows:
“If I sell the player now… If we don't qualify for the Champions League in the qualifiers, they won't keep me in this seat before the election. There is also a possibility of being matched with Fenerbahçe in the next round. I will be left without a winger. Therefore, let's carry out the sale after the qualifiers.”
Despite this statement, the Fenerbahçe side does not want the transfer to be delayed. The yellow-navy management is demanding that Kerem Aktürkoğlu join the team immediately and is persistent on this matter.
"I HAVE AGREED WITH FENERBAHÇE, I WANT TO RETURN TO TURKEY"
On the other hand, it is stated that the 25-year-old national footballer is also determined to return to Turkey, has reached an agreement with Fenerbahçe on all terms, and is waiting for the transfer to be finalized.
