Yusuf Akçiçek Transfer from Fenerbahçe to Manchester United
Fanatik reports on the growing interest from top European clubs in 19-year-old defender Yusuf Akçiçek. 19-year-old defender Yusuf Akçiçek has garnered interest from Manchester United, Bayern Munich, PSG, and Aston Villa. Known for being left-footed and physically strong, he has started receiving significant offers, with English clubs particularly interested, valuing him at 20 million euros.
Transfermarkt reports on Manchester United's interest in signing Yusuf Akçiçek. Manchester United have dispatched scouts to watch Yusuf Akçiçek on several occasions this season, including the recent Europa League last 16 tie with Rangers. The appeal of Akçiçek is increased due to being a left-footed centre-back and possessing the ability to play in midfield. Although his current market value is €5m, it would require a bid in excess of €20m for Fenerbahçe to sanction his sale this summer.
Fanatik has reported an increasing interest in Yusuf Akçiçek from leading European clubs, following his exceptional performances. The 19-year-old defender is gaining attention from major European teams due to his remarkable displays for Fenerbahçe and the national team. Among the interested parties is Manchester United from England. It has been noted that representatives from the club attended a match between Fenerbahçe and Rangers in Scotland. Fenerbahçe has established a transfer fee of 40 million Euros for Akçiçek and is not willing to entertain offers below this figure. His contract with Fenerbahçe extends until 2028, and clubs are anticipated to make their approaches to Fenerbahçe at the conclusion of the season.
Manchester United officially wants Yusuf Akcicek. Fenerbahce's vice-president has confirmed Manchester United's interest. Scouts will be sent to watch him play. An official offer of around £10-15m is expected to come in the summer. United will meet with Fenerbahce in June.
Reports suggest that Manchester United have dispatched scouts to observe Yusuf Akcicek's performance in Fenerbahce’s Europa League round of 16 first-leg match against Rangers on Thursday evening. The 19-year-old has played 13 times for Fenerbahce's senior team this season and has been a consistent starter in their Europa League games. Manchester United is said to be closely following Akcicek with an eye on potentially pursuing him during the 2025 summer transfer window, even though he still has over three years left on his current contract with Fenerbahce. The club's interest is reportedly part of a larger scouting effort, with INEOS also sending scouts to Istanbul to evaluate his play, as reported by Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.
