BREAKING 🚨: European giants have identified Leicester City star as their summer transfer target. Russell Martin will not want to lose him, as he hopes to build his team around the player. Will Leicester City keep him for Martin?

Fenerbahçe are expected to press ahead with their defensive rebuild this week by completing the signing of Malang Sarr, with the Turkish giants keen to strengthen their options ahead of the new campaign.

The club has been working on a deal for the former Chelsea defender, and reports indicate the transfer is now entering its final stages.

If everything goes according to plan, Sarr is expected to become Fenerbahçe’s latest arrival before the week is out.

Despite the progress being made, the Turkish side continue to assess other defensive options as they prepare for a demanding season on multiple fronts. One name that has reportedly been put forward is Leicester City centre-back Wout Faes.

The Belgium international has been suggested to Fenerbahçe as the club considers potential alternatives and additional reinforcements at the heart of the defence.

At this stage, however, there is no indication that formal negotiations have begun with Leicester City or that an official offer has been submitted.

Faes remains under contract at Leicester, although speculation over his future has continued following the club’s disappointing campaign.

Whether Fenerbahçe decide to pursue the defender could depend on how quickly the Malang Sarr deal is completed and whether the club believes further additions are necessary.

For now, the immediate focus remains on finalising the Malang Sarr transfer this week, while Wout Faes has simply been suggested as another possible defensive option.
