Official: Four-time Champions winger snubs Benfica for Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

The transaction was carried out in a deal estimated to be valued at 7.5 million euros; Fenerbahçe signs Benfica's target

It's official. Marco Asensio, a player who was linked to Benfica in this transfer window, will play for Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club confirmed the agreement with PSG for the player's signing. The transaction was carried out in a deal estimated to be valued at 7.5 million euros.

The Spanish international signed a contract valid for the next three seasons: "I was told there's a great atmosphere here. I want to join the team and train with my teammates as soon as possible. First of all, I would like to thank them for their interest. I received many messages from our fans. I hope to repay their affection," said the player.

A winner of three Champions League titles in Madrid and one in Paris, Asensio joined PSG in 2023, playing 47 matches for the club, with seven goals and 11 assists. The midfielder ended the last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he played 21 times and scored eight goals.

Capped 38 times for the Spanish national team, with two goals, the player who operates as an attacking midfielder or winger will have his first experience in the Turkish league, after a season split with the team that became European champions.

The 29-year-old footballer thus joins Fenerbahçe's squad, which announced Kerem Akturkoglu and Ederson Moraes in the last few hours, following the dismissal of José Mourinho after the defeat against Benfica in the Champions League play-off (1-0 on aggregate).
