Major offer from Saudi club for Kerem Aktürkoğlu

While the transfer season activity continues at Fenerbahçe, the yellow-navy blues are continuing their efforts to bring new names to the team. On the other hand, attractive offers are coming from abroad for the team's valuable players. Most recently, Saudi Arabian representative Al Ahli has stepped in to transfer national footballer Kerem Aktürkoğlu.
According to allegations, the Al Ahli club submitted an offer that could reach a total of 35 million euros (30 million euros transfer fee, 5 million euros in bonuses) for Aktürkoğlu. Although this high amount was taken into consideration by the Fenerbahçe management, the transfer did not materialize due to the “10+4” foreign player rule implemented by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). The management believes that the position Kerem plays in the domestic player rotation is critical.
According to information received from club officials, it was stated that Fenerbahçe would only be warm to selling Aktürkoğlu if a much higher offer were to arrive, and that this figure would need to be between 40 and 45 million euros.
On the other hand, it was learned that the national player also desires to continue his career in Turkey for the time being.
