Fenerbahçe's transfer of Darwin Nunez did not happen due to the high tax burden the player would face if he left Saudi Arabia early. The attempt to sign Brian Brobbey ended with a negative response from his club; until Cherif recovers, the center forward position will be taken over by Anderson Talisca.
In the final hours of the transfer window, the striker move that Fenerbahçe fans were waiting for did not happen. The reason why the transfer of Darwin Nunez, which was on the agenda of the yellow-blues, did not take place has become clear.
TAX OBSTACLE STOPPED THE TRANSFER
It has been learned that Fenerbahçe, which made attempts for Darwin Nunez, who is wearing the Al-Hilal jersey during the transfer period, stepped back due to the tax obstacle faced by the star footballer. It was stated that Nunez would have to pay a high amount of tax if he left Saudi Arabia before completing a certain period. While it was expressed that Al-Hilal was ready to send the player without demanding a loan fee, it was reported that the Fenerbahçe management did not want to bear this tax burden.
THE OBSTACLE FOR BROBBEY CAME FROM HIS CLUB THIS TIME
After the failure of the Darwin Nunez transfer, the yellow-blues made contacts for Brian Brobbey, who plays for Sunderland. However, the English club rejected the offer by stating that they did not consider letting their player go during the transfer window.
TEMPORARY SOLUTION IN STRIKER POSITION: TALISCA
Due to the ongoing injury of new transfer Sidiki Cherif at Fenerbahçe, it has been learned that Anderson Talisca will take on the striker position until the young player returns to the field.
