Wanting to strengthen its defense line in January, Fenerbahçe set its sights on Diogo Leite, who plays for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.
Fenerbahçe, which could not get the desired performance from Çağlar Söyüncü and Rodrigo Becao due to their frequent injuries, decided to expand its centre-back rotation after the increase in suitors from Europe for Jayden Oosterwolde.
A surprising claim came from Germany for Fenerbahçe, which wants to strengthen its defense line in the interim transfer period that will start on January 5.
“FENERBAHÇE WANTS DIOGO LEITE”
According to the news of German sports newspaper Bild; Fenerbahçe put Portuguese defender Diogo Leite, who plays for Union Berlin, on its agenda.
HIS CONTRACT IS ENDING
The 26-year-old left-handed defender, whose contract with his club will expire at the end of the season, has the right to negotiate a transfer with the club of his choice and sign a pre-contract as of January.

GALATASARAY ALSO WANTED IT
It was stated that Fiorentina and Galatasaray also wanted Diogo Leite during the summer transfer period, but could not agree on a transfer fee with Union Berlin, and it was noted that Fiorentina continued its interest in the Portuguese player.
SEPARATION MAY BENEFIT BEŞİKTAŞ
It is stated that Union Berlin started to search for a defender in case Diogo Leite leaves, and accordingly, they put Felix Uduokhai, whom Beşiktaş had discarded, on their agenda.
It is said that Uduokhai, who played in the Bundesliga with Augsburg before transferring to Beşiktaş, wants to play regularly and therefore wants to leave the black-and-white club.
PERFORMANCE
Diogo Leite, who joined the squad from Porto in the summer of 2022 for 7.5 million euros, has played 122 matches for Union Berlin so far, scoring 2 goals and producing 4 assists and receiving 18 yellow cards and 1 red card in these matches.
