Cengiz Ünder, who is among Fenerbahçe's most expensive transfers and has not met expectations, was loaned to MLS team Los Angeles FC with a purchase option during the winter transfer window. Cengiz, whom the yellow-navy team hoped to utilize this option, has disappointed once again.
LOS ANGELES FC WILL NOT USE THE OPTION
Bad news came from Cengiz Ünder to Fenerbahçe. MLS team Los Angeles FC has decided not to use Cengiz's $25 million purchase option. The 27-year-old footballer did not show the desired performance here either.
RETURNING IN JUNE
The experienced player, who has been on the bench in recent weeks and has only played in the final minutes of matches, will return to Fenerbahçe at the end of June. It is expected that the yellow-navy team, which will undergo a major squad restructuring in the new season, will part ways with Cengiz.
CENGIZ'S PERFORMANCE IN THE USA
