Greenwood, Lewandowski names fly as election heats up

Greenwood at the centre of the election fight

Both presidential candidates want Mason Greenwood in a Fenerbahçe shirt this summer. The Marseille forward, still owned by Manchester United, has also drawn interest from Tottenham, but your club's election race has turned him into a key campaign promise. Aziz Yıldırım and Hakan Safi are each pushing to land the 24-year-old attacker to signal serious ambition ahead of the June 6–7 congress. (1)

Safi's wild Lewandowski offer

Hakan Safi isn't stopping at Greenwood. Reports out of Turkey say the presidential candidate has tabled an enormous offer to Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski as part of his pledge to bring three world stars to the club. It's a move that would shatter expectations, and the wage budget. Whether Lewandowski entertains it is another question entirely, but the intent is unmistakable. (5)

Asensio draws Spanish interest

Marco Asensio could be heading home. Talks are reportedly underway with clubs in Spain, and while no names have surfaced yet, the interest is concrete enough that Fenerbahçe may have a decision to make on their marquee Spaniard. After a season of rebuilding, losing Asensio would sting, unless the fee funds the kind of names being thrown around on the campaign trail. (4)

Fan-reaktioner

Torreira's comments about feeling more comfortable at Kadıköy than in his own home stadium have lit up social media. Galatasaray fans aren't taking it well, seeing your own player wax lyrical about the enemy's ground cuts deep. The quote has been shared widely across both fanbases, with Fener fans enjoying every word. Read the thread here
