Fenerbahçe's coach José Mourinho seeks to sign RB Leipzig's midfielder Eljif Elmas for the winter transfer window. Elmas, who played for Fenerbahçe from 2017 to 2019, is seen as a key addition to strengthen the team's midfield. Despite Elmas's contract with Leipzig until 2028, he might consider returning if the project is appealing. Fenerbahçe is prepared to make a significant financial effort to secure him, making Elmas a potential major name in the upcoming transfer market.

Fenerbahçe is interested in bringing back their former midfielder, Eljif Elmas, on a loan deal in January. Elmas, who is unhappy with his limited playing time at Leipzig, is reportedly open to this offer. Fenerbahçe has already made contact with Elmas regarding the potential move.
