Fenerbahçe is taking critical steps in squad planning to reduce the payroll budget for the upcoming season. The club is considering Nelson Semedo, who has a high annual cost, for a potential departure. Semedo currently earns €4.8 million annually with Fenerbahçe, making him a high-cost asset.

The club's management is prepared to evaluate any future offers for Semedo during the summer transfer window. This season, Semedo played 40 matches for Fenerbahçe, scoring one goal and providing three assists. There is reported interest in the Portuguese player from both Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Semedo joined Fenerbahçe without a transfer fee at the start of the season. In his career, he has played for top clubs such as Benfica, Barcelona, and Wolverhampton. Fenerbahçe is expected to make a decision regarding Semedo's future during the transfer window.
