Fenerbahçe expressed interest in Ante Budimir and contemplated making a transfer offer of 5-6 million euros. However, Osasuna considered this offer too low and rejected it. It was reported that neither Budimir nor the sports management were interested in the offer. Budimir, being a top scorer, is content at Osasuna. Despite his age, he has a contract with the club until 2027, which includes a release clause of 20 million euros. Although several clubs, such as Juventus, have shown interest in him, Osasuna would only entertain offers in the region of 10 million euros. Fenerbahçe, recognized for their significant spending in recent seasons, had previously invested nearly 20 million euros on a player with comparable scoring records. Nevertheless, their offer for Budimir was viewed as an attempt to lowball and was promptly dismissed by both the club's management and Budimir himself, who is happy in Pamplona, where he has settled with his family.
