The yellow-blue team wants to "drop bombs" one after another as soon as the summer transfer window opens.

Fenerbahçe, which has begun preparations for the new season under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, has pressed the button to strengthen the departments that need improvement in the team, writes "Gazeta Express".

The club from Kadiköy has included Kosovo star Edon Zhegrova, who plays for Lille in the French championship, on its list of targets, reports "Haber Global".

Fenerbahçe, which is intensifying contacts for the transfer of the right-wing striker, is also targeting several other players, but Zhegrova is among the priorities.

The club wants to add important names to the squad and does not hesitate to make precise transfers that will directly affect the quality of the game.

Zhegrova has attracted the attention of many European clubs with his performances this season.

Lille are asking for around 25 million euros for his card. Fenerbahçe hopes to reach an agreement with the French club and the Turkish club's first expected offer will be around 20 million euros.

Edon Zhegrova is said to be excited about the move to Fenerbahçe, as the salary he will receive at the Turkish club is higher than what other teams are offering him. If Jose Mourinho gives his approval, president Ali Koç is expected to close the transfer.

Although Zhegrova has had injury problems this season, he was applauded for his performances last season.

During the 2023/2024 season, he played 47 games for Lille, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists – directly contributing to 22 goals.

He is seen as an important reinforcement for the right wing of Fenerbahçe's attack./Express newspaper/
