For this reason, the management took action to reinforce two centre-backs following the report of coach Jose Mourinho, and a budget of 30 million Euros was allocated.

While it remains unclear whether Fenerbahçe will treat the long-bleeding wound, it is noteworthy that 17 defenders were transferred during the Ali Koç period.

AGLAR IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST
While the Yellow-Navy blue team paid approximately 40 million Euros in transfer and rental payments for these reinforcements, the bill reached 80 million Euros including the salaries. While Çağlar Söyüncü was at the top of the list with a total cost of 10.5 million Euros, 8.3 million Euros were paid for Becao, 5.2 million Euros for Luan Peres, and 4 million Euros for Marcel Tisserand.
