Akturkoglu and Fenerbahçe in hot water? Ex-Benfica man under UEFA scrutiny | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe might be in trouble due to contracts. It has been determined that the Istanbul club - which recently lost its unbeaten streak - is being scrutinized by UEFA due to the agreements made with Kerem Akturkoglu, Diego Carlos, Milan Skriniar, and... José Mourinho, the current coach of Benfica.

According to the newspaper Record, the entity that manages European football found some inconsistencies in the contracts in question and has opened an investigation to ascertain the facts. The same source, based on what was reported by Sabah, indicates that UEFA found financial irregularities in the said agreements and has requested explanations from the Turkish club.

The case that appears to be most irregular is that of Akturkoglu. According to the same source, the Turk, who transferred from Benfica in the summer market, allegedly received the amounts related to the move to Istanbul not through Fenerbahçe, but rather through payments made by a private company owned by Hakan Safi, a former athlete of the club.

This entire situation caught the attention of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Committee, which wasted no time in informing Fenerbahçe that it must make several changes to the contract of the former Benfica winger, in order to regularize the entire situation.

In conclusion, Sabah goes further and assures that the Turkish club's management has already met with Hakan Safi, where they informed that the former footballer must make the payments through Fenerbahçe's accounts, in order to prevent the situation from dragging on, under the risk of facing sanctions from UEFA.
