HE HAS ENTERED FENERBAHÇE'S RADAR
It had been stated that Fenerbahçe, which wants to strengthen its midfield during the mid-season transfer window, had evaluated Danilo and Andre, who had previously played in the Brazilian League. In the scouting work carried out by the yellow-navy side, this time the 21-year-old midfielder Milton Delgado of the Argentine representative Boca Juniors came to the fore. It was expressed that Fenerbahçe, which closely follows the young footballer's performance, could take action for the transfer in January.
HE CONTRIBUTED TO 6 GOALS IN 45 MATCHES
