After making significant progress on the Kerem Aktürkoglu deal, Fenerbahçe continues to bolster its squad. The Turkish club has now set its sights on Noah Okafor, the striker of Nigerian descent.

In recent days, Fenerbahçe has contacted Milan to inquire about the terms of a transfer. The Rossoneri are seeking a permanent sale and are not interested in a loan deal. José Mourinho, Fenerbahçe’s head coach, is highly impressed with Okafor’s profile. He sees him as a key asset to quickly strengthen the attack. Mourinho wants a competitive team from the very start of the season.
