Since joining Fenerbahçe, Cengiz Ünder has not met expectations and, due to his high cost, he was wanted to be sent away during the mid-season transfer period. A surprising suitor has emerged for the 27-year-old footballer, who will continue his career in the USA.
AGREEMENT REACHED, HE IS GOING TO MLS
Cengiz Ünder, who had suitors from Russia and could not reach an agreement with Beşiktaş, remained in the yellow-navy team. Although the transfer period has closed in much of Turkey and Europe, a team has been found for Cengiz. According to the news from Yağız Sabuncuoğlu of Sports Digitale; Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement with MLS team Los Angeles FC. The American team is very close to adding Cengiz Ünder to their squad with a purchase option.
LOAN FEE
According to the agreement, Los Angeles FC will pay Fenerbahçe a loan fee of 1.2 million euros for Cengiz Ünder. The salary will be shared jointly by the two clubs. The MLS team will have a priority purchase right for Ünder.
PURCHASE OPTION OF 25 MILLION DOLLARS
Moreover, after Fenerbahçe, Cengiz Ünder has also reached an agreement with Los Angeles FC. It has been reported that Cengiz's purchase option is 25 million dollars. The experienced footballer will fly to the USA for a medical check-up after his visa is issued.
HE BROKE A RECORD WITH HIS TRANSFER FEE
Cengiz Ünder, who transferred from the French team Marseille to Fenerbahçe for 15 million euros in the summer of 2023, became the player for whom Fenerbahçe paid the highest transfer fee in their history at that time. This record was broken last summer by Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who was bought from Sevilla for 19.5 million euros. The 27-year-old player, who has worn the Fenerbahçe jersey in 9 matches this season, has only been able to play for 252 minutes and has not contributed to the score. The national footballer's current market value is shown as 7.5 million euros, and he has a contract with his team until 2027.
