While transfer efforts continue at Fenerbahce, a surprising name has come to the agenda. It has been claimed that the yellow-navy club has taken action to bring Yusuf Akcicek, who was sent to Al Hilal for a transfer fee of 22 million euros during Ali Koc's era, back to its squad, and President Aziz Yildirim has personally stepped in for the transfer.
AZIZ YILDIRIM PERSONALLY STEPPED IN
Fenerbahce, aiming to complete the missing pieces in its squad, has turned to its former player Yusuf Akcicek for the defense line. It was stated that the yellow-navy management has started negotiations for the transfer of the young defender, who wears the Al Hilal jersey, and that Aziz Yildirim is closely following the process.
HE WAS SOLD FOR 22 MILLION EUROS DURING ALI KOC'S ERA
Yusuf Akcicek, who grew up in the Fenerbahce youth system, was transferred to the Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal for a transfer fee of 22 million euros during Ali Koc's presidency. The yellow-navy club is now continuing its efforts to bring its former player back to the team.
HE IS WARM TO RETURNING TO FENERBAHCE
While it was claimed that the parties have largely reached an agreement in the ongoing negotiations, it was also stated that Yusuf Akcicek is warm to returning to Fenerbahce. If the transfer talks conclude within a short time and an agreement is reached, the young defender is expected to wear the yellow-navy jersey again.
