Fenerbahçe is currently associated with Nene (Salzburg) and Álvarez (West Ham). But the question is how this should work-the squad currently includes 15 foreigners: En-Nesyri, Jhon Durán, Talisca, Szymański, Archie Brown, Semedo, Fred, Amrabat, Mimovic, Becao, Škriniar, Djiku, Diego Carlos, Livaković and Jayden O.
In the Süper Lig, the 12 + 2 rule (12 foreigners + 2 U21 foreigners, born 2003 or younger) applies. Only Mimovic is currently fitting into the U21 category of the mentioned. I don’t expect Abdou Aziz Fall here.
Even if you sell Mimovic, Becao and Diego Carlos (with Carlos came for over € 11 million and certainly earns well, and Becao with a cruciate ligament rupture could only dissolve his contract, also not a low earner), you remain with 12 foreigners. So that would be the maximum. Livaković could also go, but whether Irfan can be enough is questionable.
And who else? Amrabat has just been committed for over € 10 million. The rest are stem or important rotary players. Incidentally, the problem does not only affect Fener, but also Gala and Beşiktaş.
You wait with the sale of players until the exit from the banking association is completed. If you were to sell beforehand, 50 % of the transfer fee went to the banking association – a step that makes sense economically.
