Summer promises to be boiling in Istanbul, where the Fenerbahçe intends to strike hard on the transfer market. Under the leadership of José Mourinho, the leaders are increasing contacts to attract headliners from the largest European clubs. One of the hot files of the moment concerns an emblematic player from Real Madrid, recently arrived at the end of the contract after long years spent under the Merengue colors.

It is Lucas Vazquez, a versatile winger and faithful soldier of Real Madrid for more than fifteen years, who has been at the heart of all discussions. Free at the end of the month, the Spaniard is preparing to turn the Madrid page after having accumulated more than 400 games, five champions leagues and four titles of Spanish champion. Courted by Fenerbahçe, Vazquez would have already started negotiations with the Turkish club, seduced by the prospect of evolving under the orders of Mourinho, a great craftsman of the renewal expected in Istanbul.

This transfer, if it were confirmed, would translate the new ambition of Fenerbahçe, determined to resume the leadership of Turkish football and to shine on the European scene. The club is not at its first attempt, since it also aims at other international stars to strengthen a workforce in search of titles. The potential arrival of Lucas Vazquez would offer a precious experience and an impeccable state of mind to a team eager for trophies.

For Vazquez, this page that turns to has an emotional dimension. Trained at Casa Blanca, he knew all the levels and has established himself as a duty player, always ready to be of service to the team. Its versatility, its ability to evolve both on the wing and as a side, made it a weight asset during the largest European events. A new challenge is now available to him, far from Bernabéu.

Fenerbahçe does not intend to stop there: Neymar, his Heung-Min or Kyle Walker are also mentioned among the possible summer recruits. The Turkish club intends to take advantage of the dynamics instilled by Mourinho to build a team cut for the title. The arrival of Lucas Vazquez, expected in the coming weeks, could well set the tone for an XXL transfer window.
