Fenerbahçe had reached an agreement with Vasco da Gama for the transfer of 19-year-old Brazilian forward Gabriel Souza da Silva. However, the transfer was canceled after the player failed to pass his medical examination due to a detected injury in his right leg. It was reported that he needs surgery, which would keep him away from the field for 8-10 months. As a result, Fenerbahçe decided to cancel the contract.
