Fenerbahçe awaits Çağlar Söyüncü!
The star player was included in the squad for the King's Cup match against Real Madrid, but despite 6 player substitutions, he couldn't enter the game.
Manager Selahattin Baki extended the Madrid trip by one more day to finalize the deal. Çağlar Söyüncü, with his insistence on playing for Fenerbahçe, has reached the transfer signing stage…
Fenerbahçe is working tirelessly in the mid-season transfer window to secure Çağlar Söyüncü’s signature for the third time. The inclusion of the national team defender by Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone in the King’s Cup match against Real Madrid the previous evening had caused concern among Yellow-Blue fans. The Red-Whites defeated the strong opponent 4-2 in extra time.
Did not play in the Cup
Simeone made 6 substitutions in this match, fielding defenders Savic and Azpilicueta, but did not give playing time to Çağlar.
Fenerbahçe’s most important asset
The 27-year-old player, who has now dropped to the sixth center-back position in the team, is determined to leave. Çağlar Söyüncü’s insistence on playing for Fenerbahçe at every opportunity has been the most important asset in the negotiations. Therefore, Atletico suspended talks with Porto, with whom they had previously reached an agreement. Selahattin Baki, the executive who has been in Madrid for a long time to manage the transfer process, extended his return to Istanbul by one day.
Final details are being discussed
Baki’s goal is to return after bringing the Çağlar Söyüncü transfer to the signing stage. The final details of the loan fee are being discussed between the parties. Additionally, a decision will be made on whether there will be a purchase option in the agreement. Fenerbahçe aims to conclude this transfer as positively as possible, similar to Bonucci and Krunic, as soon as possible.
