Eyes on Rizespor
Fenerbahçe are training for Çaykur Rizespor away on Saturday, October 10 at 18:00 CEST, the Süper Lig week 7 fixture (7) (8) (12) (13) (14). İsmail Kartal has the squad on the pitch at Can Bartu Tesisleri through the international break (13). You sit sixth on 10 points from six games, +10 goal difference, and your last league outing was the 8–0 win over Eyupspor on September 20.
Rizespor away, then Aston Villa away in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 14 at 21:00 CEST (5). Alanyaspor at home on October 17 follows, then Slavia Prague at home in Europe on October 20.
Amara Diouf is back and fully fit
Amara Diouf is available again. The winger, signed free from Generation Foot, is back with the squad after his injury and is 100 percent ready (11). Kartal gets another attacking option exactly when the fixture list tightens.

Aziz Yıldırım signs off on a January gift
The president is backing Kartal with a mid-season signing. Aziz Yıldırım has moved to strengthen the manager's hand for the title push, with the club's number one January target now identified (1). Unconfirmed, and no name yet.
The Brahim Díaz plan
Fenerbahçe could move for Real Madrid's Brahim Díaz in the January window, with the terms of an offer reported (3). The pitch is attacking reinforcement: Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Oğuz Aydın have been below par this season (3).
Ethan Mbappe, 19, on the list
Fenerbahçe have added Ethan Mbappe to their winter list. The 19-year-old Lille winger was offered to the club by agents and fits the U23 foreign quota (4) (9) (10). The club have checked on him. Nothing signed.
A Swedish name in the frame too
Add a Swedish star to the winter shortlist. Fenerbahçe have opened the purse strings and taken a significant step on that deal, with no name attached (6). Same window, same purpose: reinforce the squad.
