Fenerbahce Focuses on Left-Back Reinforcements After Jayden Oosterwolde’s Season-Ending Injury

Jayden Oosterwolde’s significant injury has severely hampered Fenerbahce’s defense plans. The Dutch left-back is expected to miss the rest of the season after rupturing his cruciate ligaments during a game in Samsun. He will have surgery in the Netherlands. Due to this injury, the team and manager José Mourinho are in desperate need of left-back reinforcements during the approaching January transfer window.

Quick Reaction to Oosterwolde’s Injuries

Fenerbahce’s roster planning has been disrupted by the news of Oosterwolde’s injury, since the Dutchman was a vital member of the team’s defense. Fenerbahçe management and Mourinho have already started looking for a successor because the left-back position is now a major problem. Reinforcement is a “must” for the team and Mourinho, who are concentrating on names that were already being considered during the summer transfer season.

January Transfer Objectives

The club has resurfaced as a priority target for January after considering two left-back alternatives throughout the summer. Sergio Reguilón, a Spanish defender who was previously acquired by Mourinho for Tottenham Hotspur for €30 million, is at the top of the list. Fenerbahce’s defensive needs could be met by Reguilón, who is now unpopular at his club. Given that his contract is slated to expire at the end of the current campaign, a winter transfer might become more realistic.
