Fenerbahçe have Tottenham Hotspur‘s Pape Matar Sarr in their transfer target list for the summer.
Tottenham signed the midfielder from FZ Metz in 2021 and immediately sent him back on a season-long loan deal.
He arrived in the English capital in summer 2022, when Antonio Conte was manager.
Conte initially wanted the 23-year-old to go out on loan but decided to keep him. The player earlier revealed he then had his bags packed before an injury to Oliver Skipp changed everything.
Sarr has played 137 matches so far for Tottenham and 33 are from this season.
His Premier League stats per game this season are as follows:
Interceptions: 0.8
Tackles: 1.5
Possession won (final third): 0.2
Ball recovered: 3.4
Clearances: 2.1
Blocked shots: 0.5
Duels won: 3.8
Turkey transfer interest in Tottenham player
Takvim now have a report focusing on Fenerbahçe’s interest in Pape Matar Sarr and also mention Galatasaray as an option.
The two Istanbul rivals are now battling for the title, with Galatasaray leading the table with a one-point lead and a game in hand.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Canaries have already started preparations for the next window and have identified the Tottenham Hotspur player and Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy as targets.
Their interest in the Senegal international isn’t new but failed in the previous attempts to secure his services.
This time, Fenerbahçe are pursuing the 23-year-old ‘more decisively’ and have ‘restarted negotiations’. It’s not clear whether these discussions are with the player’s agent, Roberto De Zerbi’s or both.
Galatasaray are also showing interest in the midfielder and therefore, the two local rivals could battle it out for his signature in the summer.
Contract, value and agent info
Takvim make no mention of Tottenham’s transfer stance regarding Sarr.
In 2024, Tottenham Hotspur secured him on a new contract until 2030. His value, as per Transfermarkt, is now €32m and the highest was €45m in May 2024.
Earlier in the season, there were reports he changed agents and Unique Sports Group are now representing him.
