How Fenerbahce could line up under Jose Mourinho after summer spending spree

Fenerbahce could have a very strong team next season after being linked with a host of different players since the arrival of Jose Mourinho.

Earlier in the month, Mourinho was officially announced as Fenerbahce’s new head coach.

The Portuguese had been out of a job since he was sacked by Italian Serie A side AS Roma back in January.

Since Mourinho joined the club, Fenerbahce have been linked with a host of different players ahead of the summer transfer window.

Earlier in the week, it was claimed that Mourinho could target Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix, who spent the 23/24 season on loan at Barcelona.

As reported by beIN Sports, Fenerbahce also joined the race to sign Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood.

However, it is believed that Spanish La Liga side Valencia are the frontrunners for Greenwood’s signature.

In addition, Fenerbahce have also been linked with the likes of Victor Lindelof, Thomas Partey, Romelu Lukaku and Caglar Soyuncu.

If Mourinho manages to lure the above players to join him at the club, Fenerbahce will have a very strong starting XI.

Speaking during his first press conference, Mourinho said: “I want to thank you for your love. The love I felt from the first moment my name was connected with Fenerbahce.

“Normally a coach is loved after victories, in this case I feel loved before victories. That, for me, is a big responsibility. I promise you, from this moment, I belong to your family.”

The 61-year-old continued: “This shirt is my skin, football is passion. There is no better place to feel that passion.”
