Look out, Sporting! Fenerbahçe close polls, Luis Suárez future at stake | OneFootball

Sporting are closely following the outcome of Fenerbahçe’s presidential elections, held this Sunday. The electoral process came to an end during the afternoon, with the Istanbul club announcing the closing of the polls and the participation of 27,138 members in the vote that will determine the Turks’ new leadership.

The attention of Sporting’s officials is focused above all on Hakan Safi, one of the candidates for the Fenerbahçe presidency. In recent days, the businessman publicly stated that he has an agreement with Luis Suárez.

On the eve of the vote, Hakan Safi again reinforced that position in statements to the Turkish media. “Negotiations for the transfers began weeks ago. We have an agreement with Luis Suárez, Demiral and Greenwood,” said the candidate, making clear his intention to carry out a major squad overhaul.

Despite the statements, a possible transfer of the forward does not appear to be straightforward. Frederico Varandas has already reacted to the issue in recent days, reminding that the Colombian international is protected by a release clause set at 80 million euros, the amount Sporting are demanding to open negotiations.
