According to reports from Turkish media, Fenerbahçe has expressed interest in acquiring Japanese defender Koki Machida. It is reported that José Mourinho, the coach of Fenerbahçe, is looking to bolster his defensive lineup. Initially, Mourinho had set his sights on Diego Carlos from Aston Villa and Kevin Danso from Lens, but these targets proved to be unrealistic. Consequently, Fenerbahçe is now considering Mario Hermoso from AS Roma or Machida as potential options. Machida has been part of Union SG for three years, having originally joined on loan from Kashima Antlers before a permanent transfer was completed for 1 million euros. His current market value is estimated at 10 million euros, and he is anticipated to command a significantly higher transfer fee now.
