Aziz Yildirim, who made contact for Manchester City's Dutch defender Nathan Ake during his London trip, has also initiated contacts for Fulham's Nigerian player Calvin Bassey in case an agreement cannot be reached.
Ahead of the upcoming presidential election at Fenerbahçe, candidate Aziz Yıldırım continues his transfer efforts with great secrecy and speed. Prioritizing the strengthening of the defense line, Yıldırım has been in contact with prominent names across Europe.
THE PRIMARY TARGET IS AKE
It has been learned that Aziz Yıldırım, who held a series of transfer meetings in London, primarily sat down with the manager of the 31-year-old successful defender Nathan Ake, who plays for Manchester City. According to the plan, Aziz Yıldırım's camp aims to complete the transfer of Nathan Ake first.
IF AKE FAILS, THERE ARE OTHER NAMES ON THE LIST
On the other hand, if obstacles arise in Ake's transfer, the route will be entirely turned to 26-year-old Calvin Bassey, who plays for Fulham. It was stated that contact has been made for Bassey and that an official offer will be submitted to the English club if necessary. It was also emphasized that apart from Bassey, Malang Sarr, who plays for Lens, is a third option on the list.
