Fenerbahce, returning to the Champions League after 18 years, has taken action for a transfer that will make waves following Talisca's departure. The yellow-navy club made initial contact with Frankfurt for Can Uzun, a player Galatasaray had also previously wanted to add to their squad. If the transfer of the national star, whose current market value is shown as 45 million euros, is completed, Fenerbahce's transfer fee record could be broken.
Transfer efforts at Fenerbahce have gained momentum. Following the agreement reached for Anderson Talisca's transfer to Al-Jazira, the yellow-navy club has put Can Uzun on its agenda to fill the gap that will form in the attacking line.
Fenerbahce knocked on Frankfurt's door for the 20-year-old national player and held the first meeting to learn the terms of the transfer.
CAN UZUN AS TALISCA'S REPLACEMENT
The yellow-navy management plans to make a young and long-term addition to the attacking line after Talisca's departure. In this regard, one of the prominent names on the list is Can Uzun, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt. The national player's age and potential are cited among the significant reasons for Fenerbahce's interest.
FIRST CONTACT MADE WITH FRANKFURT
It was stated that the Fenerbahce management made the first contact with Frankfurt for Can Uzun's transfer and held discussions with the German club regarding the transfer terms. Depending on Frankfurt's response, it is expected that the talks will progress and the yellow-navy club will move to the official offer stage.
GALATASARAY WAS ALSO AFTER HIM
The name Can Uzun had previously come up on the transfer agenda of Fenerbahce's arch-rival Galatasaray. This time, Fenerbahce stepping in for the young star, which the yellow-red club was interested in adding to its squad but could not complete the transfer of, has brought a new dimension to the transfer rivalry between the arch-rivals.
COULD BREAK FENERBAHCE'S TRANSFER RECORD
Can Uzun's current market value is shown at the level of 45 million euros. If Fenerbahce pays a transfer fee of this level for the 20-year-old national player, Can Uzun could become the most expensive transfer in the history of the yellow-navy club.
PURSE STRINGS OPENED AFTER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Fenerbahce, which earned the right to compete in the Champions League after 18 years by eliminating Lyon, plans to further strengthen its squad for the Devils League. While it is stated that the yellow-navy management is preparing to allocate a serious budget for transfers in this direction, whether the Can Uzun move will materialize will become clear after the meetings with Frankfurt.
