Interest from Fenerbahçe
Uzbekistan national team striker and İstanbul Başakşehir forward Eldor Shomurodov could be on the move during the upcoming transfer window. According to Turkish media reports, another Istanbul-based club, Fenerbahçe, has shown strong interest in signing the player.
What offer was made?
Reports indicate that Fenerbahçe submitted an official proposal consisting of €6 million plus Brazilian midfielder Fred. However, İstanbul Başakşehir rejected the initial offer without entering advanced negotiations.
İstanbul Başakşehir’s demands
The club values Shomurodov significantly higher and is seeking a transfer fee of €20 million. An exchange deal involving Fred is also being considered, but only if Fenerbahçe adds an extra €10 million to the agreement.
Shomurodov’s importance this season
It is worth noting that Eldor Shomurodov is currently the top scorer of the Turkish Super League. His consistent performances and goal-scoring form have substantially increased his market value.
Background of his last transfer
İstanbul Başakşehir signed the Uzbek striker from Italian club Roma for €5.7 million not long ago. Given his current form, the club is aiming to secure a significant profit from a potential sale.
