Rotation with 3 names... Who will be the 3rd domestic player if Rade Krunic joins Fenerbahçe?

The transfer of Rade Krunic to Fenerbahçe is nearing completion. Head coach İsmail Kartal is working on who the third domestic player will be to play alongside Ferdi Kadıoğlu and İrfan Can Kahveci following the arrival of Rade Krunic.

According to a report by Sabah Gazetesi; if Krunic is signed, İsmail Yüksek and Crespo will likely be headed to the bench. In recent weeks, Crespo has been playing as a defensive midfielder, while İsmail Yüksek was getting playing time before Becao's injury.

FERDİ AND İRFAN'S SPOTS ARE GUARANTEED

With the transfer of Krunic, who is highly likely to be the new name alongside Fred, some problems will arise regarding the number of domestic players. At this point, Ferdi Kadıoğlu at left-back and İrfan Can Kahveci on the right wing have guaranteed spots.

Becao, who is expected to return to the pitch at the end of January, will form the center-back tandem with Djiku. The Brazilian player will also have taken the spot from Samet Akaydın and Serdar Aziz.

THE MERT MÜLDÜR POSSIBILITY

While Osayi-Samuel's strong performance at right-back is causing confusion, the strongest name Kartal could play as a domestic option is Mert Müldür. 

Mert's form, who has a high probability of taking the role on the right side of the defense after the Krunic move, is a concern for the technical staff.

Unable to bench names like Fred, Tadic, Szymanski, and Dzeko, Kartal may move Osayi-Samuel to the bench for league matches.
