Fenerbahce pulled off one of the biggest transfer shocks of the summer, signing Kerem Akturkoglu, Marco Asensio, and Ederson in the same week, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.
The club spent over €50 million ($58,61 million) to land the trio, signaling their ambition to dominate both Türkiye and Europe this season.
Kerem Akturkoglu lands in Istanbul

- The Portuguese club received €22.5 million as a transfer fee.
- Kerem arrived in Istanbul last night on a private jet and was greeted with great excitement.
This move not only strengthens Fenerbahce but also adds extra rivalry, as Kerem is a former Galatasaray star.
Marco Asensio signs from PSG

- PSG agrees to a deal worth €14 million.
- Asensio is expected to undergo medical checks today in Istanbul.
With his Champions League pedigree from Real Madrid, Asensio adds top-level experience and creativity to the squad.
Ederson strengthens goalkeeping position
In another stunning move, Fenerbahce beat Galatasaray to the signing of Ederson from Manchester City.
- The Premier League side accepts €15 million plus bonuses.
- Ederson signs a three-year contract, earning €8 million per year plus add-ons.
- The Brazilian keeper arrives in Istanbul today to complete the deal.
This transfer significantly boosts Fenerbahce’s goalkeeping strength, ending months of speculation around the position.
