Fatih Terim, who has taken over as the head coach of the Saudi Arabian team Al Shabab, expressed his desire to have national football player Cengiz Ünder, who plays for Fenerbahçe, in his team after speaking with him. The yellow-blues, who want to offload Cengiz, will be relieved of a salary burden of 3.7 million euros if this transfer takes place.
Fenerbahçe is considering offloading Cengiz Ünder, who is not in their plans, while help came from Fatih Terim, who has taken over the Saudi Arabian team Al Shabab.
TERIM WANTS CENGIZ
According to a report by Sözcü, the Saudi club managed by Terim wants to add Cengiz Ünder to their squad. Fatih Terim expressed his desire to have Cengiz in his team during their discussions, and the 27-year-old national player is inclined towards Al Shabab due to his wish to work with the experienced coach. It is expected that Al Shabab officials will contact Fenerbahçe shortly.
FENERBAHÇE WILL BE FREE FROM 3.7 MILLION EUROS
On the other hand, although several clubs from Europe are interested in Cengiz Ünder, they have backed out of the transfer due to his high annual salary of 3.7 million euros. Al Shabab remains the only option for Cengiz. Fenerbahçe aims to relieve their salary burden and create space in their team budget by sending the 27-year-old player away.
CENGIZ'S FENERBAHÇE STATS
Cengiz Ünder, who was transferred from Marseille for 15 million euros in the summer of 2023, has played 38 official matches for Fenerbahçe. In these matches, Cengiz has recorded 9 goals and 3 assists. The 27-year-old player has a contract with the yellow-blues until 2027.
