Kerem Akturkoglu scores for Benfica – could be his last for the Eagles | OneFootball

Kerem Akturkoglu may indeed be on his way out of Benfica. According to information reported by the Turkish press in recent hours, the winger wants to move to Fenerbahçe and has already made his intentions known to the Benfica management, who are still in negotiations with José Mourinho's team.

Apparently, Benfica has rejected an initial offer from Fenerbahçe for Kerem Akturkoglu. This offer, which already included objectives, was reportedly between 20 and 25 million euros. However, according to some Turkish journalists, José Mourinho's side will come back with another bid.

After the Benfica – Fenerbahçe match, Bruno Lage was asked about Kerem Akturkoglu's situation. The Benfica coach confirmed that there was an initial offer, but said that the player has always been very professional and gave his all on the pitch, whether in training or in matches.

“I don’t know if there will be any more offers for him or for another player. The athlete was very focused on training and helping the team. He started the season very well, he is our number 7 and he is happy at Benfica. There was an offer, but at no time did he lose focus on Benfica. Whenever he was available, he helped the team,” said Bruno Lage.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Kerem Akturkoglu – valued at 24 million euros – has played five matches: three in the Champions League, one in Liga Portugal Betclic, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 261 minutes he was on the pitch, the player found the back of the net once.
