It has been revealed that Lyon made an offer for Fenerbahçe's star Sebastian Szymanski during the summer transfer window. The offer was deemed insufficient by both the club management and Jose Mourinho, so the transfer did not take place. Following this, Szymanski parted ways with his agent Mariusz Piekarski. According to the Polish press, the star player is preparing for a new transfer during the winter transfer window.
A striking transfer claim has emerged regarding Fenerbahçe's star midfielder Sebastian Szymanski. According to reports in the Polish press, French Ligue 1 team Lyon wanted to add the Polish footballer to their squad during the summer transfer window.
The French representative made an official offer to Fenerbahçe, but the amount of the offer was deemed insufficient by the club's management and head coach Jose Mourinho. The transfer did not take place after Mourinho did not approve the sale of the player.
TRANSFER CANCELLED, RELATIONSHIP ENDED
After the transfer did not materialize, it was learned that Sebastian Szymanski parted ways with his agent Mariusz Piekarski. It was claimed that the Polish footballer held his agent responsible for the cancellation of the Lyon transfer.
AGENT'S TRANSFER CONFESSION
Piekarski stated last month, "We received an offer from a club in one of the top 5 leagues in Europe. However, Fenerbahçe rejected the offer and stated that Szymanski was not for sale. After Mourinho left, the transfer window in Europe was only open for 3 more days. We had discussions with a club from England, but that transfer was dependent on another player and was cancelled."
SEARCHING FOR A NEW ADDRESS IN THE WINTER TRANSFER WINDOW
According to reports in the Polish press, Szymanski's new agent has started working to find a new club for the star player from Europe during the winter transfer window. However, Fenerbahçe is not keen on selling the player during the mid-season transfer period.
The yellow-navy team aims to achieve a high transfer fee from the 26-year-old star, who continues to perform well, at the end of the season.
