Fenerbahçe has renewed its interest in Merih Demiral, who had previously been reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano to be staying at Al-Ahli. Fenerbahçe's coach, Jose Mourinho, is reportedly dissatisfied with the performance of Becao and Djiku and has requested a new center-back. According to Takvim, Fenerbahçe is expected to make an offer to Al-Ahli for the 26-year-old center-back in the coming days. Merih's current market value is 16 million euros.

Fenerbahçe is interested in signing Merih Demiral. Al-Ahli has granted permission for negotiations.
