Fenerbahçe had reached an agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Kerem Aktürkoğlu for 22.5 million euros plus 2.5 million euros in bonuses. After the national footballer played in the Nice match, eliminating the possibility of him wearing the Fenerbahçe jersey in the play-off round, the yellow-navy club made a flash move.
KEREM AKTÜRKOĞLU'S FLIGHT CANCELLED
Fenerbahçe lowered its offer to Benfica for Kerem Aktürkoğlu and also cancelled his flight scheduled for Sunday. The Portuguese giant was furious after the new offer and rejected it.
BENFICA'S PLAN
On the other hand, Benfica's cunning plan regarding Kerem Aktürkoğlu has been revealed. According to the report by Sözcü, Benfica was planning to finance the transfer of Amoura from Wolfsburg with the 25 million euros to be paid by Fenerbahçe and intended to play the Algerian forward in the play-off round.
Thus, Benfica would have both fielded Amoura against Fenerbahçe and prevented Kerem Aktürkoğlu from wearing the yellow-navy jersey, killing two birds with one stone in the play-off round. With the move by the yellow-navy club, all of Benfica's plans fell through.
