Çaykur Rizespor has successfully signed Samet Akaydın from Fenerbahçe. The transfer is part of Rizespor's effort to strengthen their squad during the transfer window.

Samet Akaydin is set to leave Fenerbahçe after losing his place in the team and facing criticism from fans following a mistake in the Bilbao match. Fenerbahçe has agreed on a transfer for the 30-year-old defender to join Çaykur Rizespor. Akaydin has reached a preliminary agreement with Çaykur Rizespor for a 1.5-year contract.

Following consecutive mistakes and receiving significant fan criticism, Samet Akaydın will consider offers to leave Fenerbahçe. The club plans to sell him for a transfer fee.

Samet Akaydın's future at Fenerbahçe is uncertain. The player is on the radar of a major Süper Lig team looking to strengthen their defense. The transfer depends on the transfer fee. After Becao's serious injury, Fenerbahçe is left with Djiku, Çağlar, and Samet as alternatives, making it likely they will sign another defender in January. This could increase the chance of Samet leaving. Fenerbahçe's coach is open to the transfer, and Samet wants to play regularly.
