It has been claimed that Fenerbahçe is interested in Malang Sarr, who plays for Lens and is considered one of the most notable defenders of the season in Ligue 1. It was also alleged that the yellow-navy’s biggest rival in the transfer is Al-Hilal.
Transfer efforts continue unabated ahead of the presidential election at Fenerbahçe. It has been claimed that the yellow-navy club has added Malang Sarr, one of the most notable defenders of the season in France's Ligue 1, to its agenda.
MALANG SARR MOVE FOR DEFENSE
It has been alleged that Fenerbahçe, aiming to strengthen its defensive line before the new season, is interested in Malang Sarr, who plays for Lens. According to information reported by journalist Ben Jacobs, the yellow-navy team is continuing its efforts for the successful center-back.
AL-HILAL ALSO INVOLVED
The report stated that Saudi Arabian representative Al-Hilal is also interested in the French defender. Malang Sarr, who has drawn attention with his performances in Europe, is said to be on the radar of many clubs. It was also reported that Atletico Madrid monitored the player during the season but the Spanish club has not yet made an official move.
VERSATILE PLAY STANDS OUT
The 27-year-old footballer, although his main position is center-back, can also play as a left-back. Due to this feature, it has been claimed that the Fenerbahçe management sees the player as an important alternative. Malang Sarr's contract with Lens runs until 2026, and his current market value is reported to be around 15 million euros.
COMEBACK WITH LENS
Malang Sarr, who fell short of expectations during his Chelsea period, has revived his career with Lens. The French defender played 30 matches in Ligue 1 this season and was selected for the league's best team of the season with his performances. His consistent defensive display and versatile play have increased interest in the player.
DECISION TO BE MADE AT SEASON END
It has been noted that Malang Sarr will decide on his future at the end of the season, while it has been stated that the player has not completely ruled out staying at Lens. Fenerbahçe is reportedly expected to make an official move if transfer conditions become favorable.
