Fenerbahçe Transfers Allan Saint-Maximin: Mourinho’s Vision for the New Season

As Fenerbahçe continues its preparations for the new season in the Trendyol Süper Lig under the management of head coach Jose Mourinho, significant strides are being made in their transfer activities. The yellow-dark blue team is close to finalizing the transfer of Allan Saint-Maximin from the Saudi club Al Ahli. There are many intriguing details about this transfer.

FENERBAHÇE’S GOAL: CHAMPIONSHIP AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Setting their sights on winning the championship and securing a spot in the Champions League, Fenerbahçe is advancing its transfer efforts under the directives of Portuguese head coach Mourinho. In this context, an agreement has been reached with the French star Allan Saint-Maximin, who plays for Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.

SAINT-MAXIMIN BIDS FAREWELL FOR FENERBAHÇE

According to BBC Arabic, after meeting with Jose Mourinho, Saint-Maximin accepted the transfer to Fenerbahçe and bid farewell to his teammates. The 27-year-old attacking player, who learned he was not part of Al Ahli’s plans for the new season, decided to leave the team. The French star chose Fenerbahçe based on Mourinho’s projects and vision.

MOURINHO’S 2019 REMARKS RESURFACED

Another notable detail about Saint-Maximin’s transfer is Mourinho’s interest in the French player back in 2019 when he was at Tottenham. The renowned coach had stated at the time, “I like Allan Saint-Maximin, I like his speed.” Additionally, when Mourinho moved to Roma in 2021, he wanted to sign Saint-Maximin, but the transfer did not materialize due to Newcastle United’s high demands.

LAST SEASON’S PERFORMANCE

Last season, Saint-Maximin appeared in 31 official matches for Al Ahli, recording 4 goals and 10 assists. The French player is expected to don the Fenerbahçe jersey soon and play a significant role in Mourinho’s game plan, making a notable impact in the Süper Lig.

Fenerbahçe fans believe that with Saint-Maximin’s addition, the attacking line will be even stronger, aiming for great successes in the upcoming season.
