F.Bahçe can make a strong move in the transfer market with the clear request of its coach José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach, who recently took over the team, showed Merih Demiral as a key player to strengthen the defense. The defender, who currently plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, is on the radar of the Turkish club, which has started negotiations for his transfer.

Mourinho wants a new leader

Demiral, 26, is one of the well-known names in Turkish football and his potential return to the country would make a significant impact. Although his name has been mentioned with Beşiktaş before, Mourinho’s presence and Fenerbahce’s ambition may change the balance in favor of the Istanbul-based team. According to the Saudi publication ‘Al-Riyadhiyah’, the Portuguese coach stated that the defender is an ideal option to strengthen the defense and said that he aims to compete at the highest levels both at home and abroad.

Demiral has a contract with Al-Ahli, but inside sources suggest that the player is inclined to return to his country, especially under the guidance of a famous coach like Mourinho. Fenerbahce appear ready to fulfill their coach’s wishes and it has the potential to lead to a high-profile transfer that will raise fans’ expectations.
