Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe face off in Perri transfer

It is claimed that Fenerbahçe has also entered the race for Olympique Lyonnais' Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri, who is reportedly on Galatasaray's transfer list.

According to reports in the Brazilian press, Fenerbahçe's move is seen as an attempt to block Galatasaray's transfer of Perri.

THE MOURINHO FACTOR IS IN PLAY

According to the reports, while Galatasaray was making progress in transfer negotiations, Fenerbahçe's intervention and discussions held with Jose Mourinho have caused Lucas Perri to reconsider his decision. It is stated that the Brazilian goalkeeper is warm to the idea of working with Mourinho.

CLUBS' OFFERS ON THE TABLE

It has been reported that Galatasaray has submitted a transfer fee offer of 4+1 million Euros for Lucas Perri, while Fenerbahçe is preparing a similar offer and has set aside a budget between 4 and 5 million Euros for the player's transfer.

FENERBAHÇE'S THREE-FOLD SALARY CLAIM

According to the Brazilian press, Fenerbahçe has offered Perri three times the salary he would earn at Galatasaray. This move is interpreted as the yellow-navy club's effort to take the lead in the transfer.

On the other hand, the reason for Fenerbahçe's focus on a goalkeeper transfer is cited as Dominik Livakovic's desire to continue his career in the English Premier League. This preference by Livakovic has led Fenerbahçe to prioritize the transfer of Perri.

While 27-year-old Lucas Perri's current market value is stated to be 10 million Euros, the player has a contract with Lyon until 2028. The outcome of the transfer process is awaited with curiosity.
