It has been claimed that Fenerbahçe wants to re-sign its former footballer Yusuf Akçiçek, while Galatasaray is also said to be in the running for the young defender.
Two giants of Turkish football, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, have come face-to-face over Yusuf Akçiçek, who is regarded as one of the most promising defensive players of the future.
TRANSFER DERBY
Yusuf Akçiçek, who rose through the Fenerbahçe youth academy and transferred to Al Hilal with his successful performance, has settled at the top of the transfer lists of the arch-rivals. The yellow-navy management sees the young defender, who is expected to leave the Saudi team, as part of their long-term plans and is preparing to make an offer to re-sign him with a transfer fee.
It has been reported that Galatasaray, which is looking for a possible transfer opportunity, could step in at any moment for their former player who wore the jersey in the youth academy in previous years.
MADE CLUB HISTORY
Yusuf Akçiçek, who transferred from Fenerbahçe to Al Hilal in September 2025, had etched his name into club history. Sold to the Saudi Arabian team for a transfer fee of 22 million euros, Yusuf became among the players who generated the most revenue for the club's history.
