Sofyan Amrabat Refuses to Leave Fenerbahçe Amid Exit Talks
Sofyan Amrabat's future at Fenerbahçe is in limbo. The Moroccan international, who joined from Fiorentina last season for €12–14 million with a mandatory purchase clause, has been informed he is not part of José Mourinho's plans for the upcoming season. Despite this, Amrabat has rejected two offers – both from Serie A clubs – citing a significant pay cut. The 28-year-old currently earns €5 million per year in Istanbul, while the Italian offers reportedly did not exceed €2 million. With a contract running until 2028, Amrabat has told the club he intends to stay unless a more suitable offer arrives. His stance has placed Fenerbahçe in a financial bind, as the club looks to offload fringe players and cut its wage bill. Last season, Amrabat featured in 39 matches, scoring twice and assisting four times. His refusal to leave without proper compensation is complicating the club's summer plans.

Jose Mourinho and £65m Jhon Duran fall out on FIRST DAY working together as 'disrespectful' behaviour sparks 'consequences' threat - and manager wants an ex-Man United star out
The relationship between Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho and new recruit Jhon Duran has got off to a rocky start. Mourinho, who is headed into his second season with the Istanbul giants, was angered by Duran's absence as his side began their preparations for the campaign in Portugal. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss labelled the Colombian's actions 'disrespectful' and suggested that he will face consequences for his truancy. 'It's disrespectful. There are clear rules here, and anyone who doesn't follow them will face consequences,' the Portuguese told reporters. 'We'll talk to him when he shows up, if he does.' The 21-year-old moved to the Turkish side on a season-long loan this summer just six months after joining Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in a deal worth £71million. Sofyan Amrabat could soon be on his way out of the club after failing to impress the Portuguese While in the Saudi Pro League, he netted 12 goals in 18 matches, helping Al-Nassr finish third in the standings. His departure from the Midlands in January came amid reports that he had a testing relationship with Villa boss Unai Emery. Spanish outlet Marca claim that Duran is expected to be in Portugal for training in the next few days. Elsewhere, Mourinho's early-season fury has reportedly been set upon former United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. According to Turkish outlet Yenicag, Mourinho was not impressed by Amrabat's performance in a recent friendly and wants him cut from the team.

Jose Mourinho ‘holds meeting with Heung-Min Son' as Tottenham name price for club captain
HEUNG-MIN SON is being lined up for a blockbuster move by Turkish giants Fenerbahce. After a mostly dismal campaign, the Tottenham captain, 32, could bid farewell to the club after 10 years, with only one year left on his contract, though Spurs will not be letting him go cheaply. 1 According to Turkish reporter Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, he could be set to reunite with former boss Jose Mourinho. A face-to-face meeting between player and manager to discuss a potential move is said to have taken place, with the pair believed to have maintained a strong relationship, though the Istanbul club may need to part with at least £25million to get their man. SunSport understands that the player is open to a move, with the historic Europa League triumph viewed as a perfect way to depart on a positive note. The duo linked up for eighteen months at Spurs, where Son enjoyed great success, bagging 22 league goals in 51 appearances under Mourinho, even scooping the Puskas Award during his tenure. The Portuguese manager would be yearning for this form to return if a move is completed, after watching Fenerbahce's fierce city rivals Galatasaray clinch a third straight Super Lig title. Mourinho's club are keen to make a splash in the market, and were recently been linked to Man City outcast Kyle Walker. But as exclusively reported by SunSport, it appears the England right-back is instead heading to Merseyside to work under David Moyes at Everton. Manchester United flop Sofyan Amrabat for the start of the window. Whilst rumours are also circling that Santos megastar Neymar could join, according to French outlet L'Equipe, in what would be a head-turning deal. However, any move for Heung-Min Son may have to wait. Spurs are desperate to hang on to Son for their lucrative pre-season trip to Asia to honour agreements with tour organisers, due to the star's huge continental presence and significant commercial value he brings to the club. If Son were to depart prior to this, a breach of contract with organisers could leave the possibility of a sizeable financial penalty being slapped upon the North London outfit, meaning a swift resolution over the player's future is improbable. It is also understood that the player is the subject of interest from three Saudi Pro League clubs. Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah are all looking to swoop for the South Korean star, with a potential transfer saga now firmly on the cards. This could hurt Fenerbahce 's hopes of getting a deal over the line.

Fenerbahçe to Cash In on Amrabat and En-Nesyri
Fenerbahçe are preparing to offload four big names this summer, with Moroccan duo Sofyan Amrabat and Youssef En-Nesyri topping the sale list. The Turkish giants are aiming to collect at least €60 million in transfer fees as they reshape their squad, according to Türkiye Newspaper . Amrabat, currently on loan from Fiorentina, is expected to see his €13 million buy option triggered before being flipped for €20 million, netting Fenerbahçe a tidy €7 million profit. En-Nesyri, meanwhile, is reportedly close to securing a €35 million move to Saudi Arabia. A blockbuster deal, but one that comes after a dramatic fall from grace. When the Moroccan striker arrived from Sevilla last summer, fans believed they'd landed the missing piece – a target man No.9 ready to deliver titles. And for a while, he looked every bit the part, firing 26 goals and providing 7 assists in 47 appearances. From August to February, he was electric. But since March 2, when he last scored against Antalyaspor, En-Nesyri has gone cold. However, the Moroccan hitman finally silenced the doubters on Friday night, finding the net in Fenerbahçe's emphatic 4-1 away victory over Başakşehir. It was En-Nesyri's 17th league goal of the season, adding to his four assists, keeping him firmly in the race for the Golden Boot. His strike came as part of a dominant second-half display, as Fenerbahçe closed the gap to leaders Galatasaray to five points with three matches remaining. The goal ended a two-month drought just days after the forward was booed off in the derby defeat to Beşiktaş. It was a much-needed response from the 27-year-old, who had faced heavy criticism in recent weeks. Even José Mourinho, who once defended him publicly, now faces growing pressure. 'En-Nesyri scored 26 goals without taking penalties. He went through a challenging period during Ramadan, where he lost some of his form, but he is starting to get back to his best. He has proven that he is regaining his physical condition. He will play a key role in the remaining seven matches of the season, without a doubt,' Mourinho insisted earlier this month. With veteran Edin Dzeko and midfielder Sebastian Szymanski also tipped for €5 million exits each, Fenerbahçe's summer clear-out looks inevitable. Tags: FenerbahceSofyan AmrabatYoussef En-Nesyri
