Caused a stir. Manchester United, Bayern, Tottenham and other top clubs eye Turkish defender Akcicek
The talented Fenerbahce defender Yusuf Akcicek has caught the attention of a host of major clubs.
Details. The 19-year-old, who made his debut for the Turkish national team on Sunday, has reportedly been added to the shortlist of Manchester United and Tottenham. However, Premier League clubs will face stiff competition in the race for the wunderkind.
According to the Turkish publication Fanatik, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and RB Leipzig have also expressed interest in the center-back.
But Fenerbahce plans to keep Akcicek, as the Super Lig giants are in advanced talks over a long-term contract with the player, which is likely to run at least until 2030. However, if a sufficiently large offer is made, the Istanbul club's management will be open to negotiations.
This season, the defender has played 15 matches for the "Canaries" under the guidance of Jose Mourinho.
Reminder. It was previously reported that Tottenham intends to challenge Manchester United in the race for Viktor Gyokeres.
