Fenerbahçe made an offer to Newcastle United for Lloyd Kelly, who is currently the third-choice left center-back. Newcastle rejected the initial offer of 6 million pounds, asking for a higher bid. Fenerbahçe is expected to return with an increased offer.

Lloyd Kelly is being rumored to be on the move to Fenerbahce, despite having transferred to Newcastle United only last summer from Bournemouth on a free transfer. Fenerbahce's head coach, Jose Mourinho, has reportedly identified Kelly as a target as he seeks to strengthen his squad with a left-sided defender. Journalist Sercan Hamzaoglu disclosed that the Turkish club has initiated discussions with Newcastle regarding a fee for the 26-year-old player. Fenerbahce vice-president Acun Ilıcalı confirmed the club's interest, noting that they are in negotiations for Kelly and are attempting to finalize a deal to acquire the central defender. It is reported that Kelly is on a substantial wage at Newcastle, a demand he made since no transfer fee was required in his move from Bournemouth.
