Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reported that Fenerbahçe is keeping a close eye on the transfer of Matias Vecino, as his contract with Lazio is set to expire this season. The club aims to sign the star player on a free transfer once the season concludes. Vecino had previously been linked to Galatasaray, but the transfer was halted due to the fans' reaction. The midfielder, who has garnered interest from Fenerbahçe, was close to joining Galatasaray before the move was scrapped. Fenerbahçe perceives this as an opportunity to bolster their squad by acquiring Vecino without incurring a transfer fee once his contract with Lazio comes to an end.
