The first offer for the impressive 19-year-old Yusuf Akçiçek, who has been making waves at Fenerbahçe, came from Premier League team Brentford. The yellow-navy team rejected the 6 million euro offer from the English club without a second thought. Meanwhile, German giant Bayern Munich is closely monitoring Yusuf.
With the arrival of head coach Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahçe, 19-year-old young center-back Yusuf Akçiçek, who started to get playing time in the first team and made good use of this opportunity, has begun to attract attention from teams in Europe. The first official offer for Yusuf has arrived for the yellow-navy blue team.
BRENTFORD OFFERED 6 MILLION EUROS
After previously transferring Yunus Emre Konak from Sivasspor, the English Premier League team Brentford has made an official offer to Fenerbahçe for Yusuf Akçiçek. The English club knocked on Fenerbahçe's door with a 6 million euro offer.
FENERBAHÇE IMMEDIATELY REJECTED
The yellow-navy blue team immediately rejected this offer. The management decided that Yusuf Akçiçek should spend at least one more year with Jose Mourinho and listen to offers after he has developed further.
BAYERN MUNICH IS CLOSELY MONITORING
Yusuf Akçiçek is also on the radar of Europe's giant clubs. The German team Bayern Munich is closely following Yusuf's development. Besides Munich, many European clubs have also added the 19-year-old center-back to their list, having watched the young player from the stands during the match against Anderlecht in Belgium.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
This season, Yusuf Akçiçek has played 12 matches in all competitions wearing the Fenerbahçe jersey. The young center-back, whom head coach Jose Mourinho is particularly attentive to, has spent 625 minutes on the field in these matches. The 19-year-old footballer has also contributed with 2 goals and 1 assist in these matches. After leaving the Galatasaray youth team, Yusuf signed with Fenerbahçe and has a contract with the team until 2028.
