Vlahovic Snubs Fenerbahce and Juventus Offers, Eyes EPL

Dusan Vlahovic participates in the Serie A 2024-2025 match between Juventus and Empoli in Turin, Italy, on February 2, 2025.

Fenerbahce confirm agreement with Juventus over Kostic

Fenerbahce have released a statement confirming an agreement with Juventus over the transfer of Filip Kostic.

But with the transfer market shut almost everywhere on the globe, Turkiye became his ultimate escape route. The winger has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, but it was their crosstown rivals Fenerbahce who managed to seal the deal. Kostic w...
