Fenerbahce manager José Mourinho is growing increasingly frustrated with the club’s failure to secure his top transfer targets ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League third-round qualifiers scheduled for August 5 and 6.
Sources close to the Portuguese coach reveal that Mourinho is particularly keen on finalising a permanent deal for PSG defender Milan Škriniar, a player he considers central to his plans for European competition. In addition, he has urged the club to secure two dynamic wide players to strengthen the squad’s attacking options.
However, it appears Fenerbahce’s management have different priorities According to reports by GOAL, the club is currently focused on signing Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu—a move that has allegedly not been approved by Mourinho himself.
Insiders say club president Ali Koç made initial enquiries about Çalhanoğlu’s availability without consulting Mourinho, further widening the gap between the coach’s vision and the board’s actions.
With time running out before their Champions League qualifiers, tension is said to be mounting behind the scenes at Fenerbahce, as Mourinho pushes for quick and strategic reinforcements.
