Fenerbahçe is preparing to evaluate transfer offers for Fred and Sofyan Amrabat, targeting a total income of over 30 million euros from the sales of the two midfielders, according to reports from TRT Spor and Sabah. Talks with interested clubs are already underway as the Turkish Süper Lig side shapes its squad planning.
Al-Ittihad Enters Talks for Sofyan Amrabat
Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad has submitted a verbal offer approaching 15 million euros including bonuses for Sofyan Amrabat, according to TRT Spor. Fenerbahçe has made it clear that they demand a net 20 million euro fee for the Moroccan midfielder. Previous formal bids failed to reach the 10 million euro threshold. Alongside the Saudi club, discussions are active with one additional club from Saudi Arabia and two clubs from Europe.
Amrabat originally joined Fenerbahçe for a total cost of 14 million euros, which covered loan and purchase fees. After spending the prior season at Real Betis, the 29-year-old defensive midfielder made 45 appearances for the yellow-navies, netting three goals and providing four assists. His current contract binds him to Fenerbahçe through 2028.
