According to close sources, Turkish defender Çağlar Söyüncü is close to sealing his fate at Fenerbahçe. Atletico Madrid have received five offers to sign the talented centre-back on loan in the last week, including Fulham, Porto, AS Roma, Borussia Dortmund and Fenerbahçe. However, the final decision will largely depend on Söyüncü's desire to join the Turkish club.
Initially, negotiations were pushed forward with Fenerbahçe about a loan without a purchase option until the end of the season. However, the scenario changed after César Azpilicueta's injury in the Copa del Rey round of 16 derby. The situation in Atlético de Madrid's defense has become more complex, and the urgency to fill positions, given the tight schedule and participation in multiple competitions, makes Söyüncü's departure difficult.
Soyuncu's departure from Atlético de Madrid is imminent
The possible departure of Söyüncü would be in addition to the likely departure of Gbric, who could join Sheffield United in the Premier League in the next few hours, which would bring the Colchonero club around €2.5 million in revenue. With the Croatian about to leave, Atlético de Madrid has already secured a replacement: Romanian international Horatiu Moldovan, 25, from Rapid Bucharest. Moldovan, whose signing is estimated to be worth the same amount as Grbic's departure, would sign a four-season contract, according to reports from journalist Luca Bendoni, who specializes in the market.
