As Fenerbahçe prepares for its elections on June 6-7, candidates Aziz Yıldırım and Hakan Safi have been making significant moves, particularly in the realm of technical leadership and star players. However, a stunning revelation has surfaced in the Portuguese press regarding Fenerbahçe's intentions.
According to the reputable Portuguese sports newspaper A Bola, Fenerbahçe is planning to reunite with its former coach, Jorge Jesus, who is reportedly nearing a split with Saudi team Al-Nassr.
The experienced coach, who is expected to leave Al-Nassr, is reportedly the top priority for Aziz Yıldırım, one of Fenerbahçe's presidential candidates. Yıldırım is said to have offered Jesus a yearly salary of 15 million euros, which would be a record-breaking amount in Super Lig history if the contract is signed.
RECORD-BREAKING OFFER ON THE TABLE
If the deal goes through, the proposed salary would not only be a new high point for Jorge Jesus but also set a new record for the Super Lig. Jesus, who coached Fenerbahçe in the 2022-23 season, ended the campaign with a second-place finish in the Super Lig and secured the Turkish Cup for the club.
This is huge! Fenerbahçe's offer to Jorge Jesus could completely change the landscape of Turkish football. Can they really afford to pay him that much? And how will the other teams respond? This is going to be a wild summer!
