In lack of playing time at OM, Jordan Amavi could take over the management of Fenerbahçe during the next winter transfer window.
Jordan Amavi certainly thought of establishing himself as an indisputable holder under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli . This is probably why the left-back decided to extend his contract with OM last May until 2025. But this first part of the season seems like a nightmare for the 27-year-old, relegated to the substitutes' bench. Amavi Has only played two games this season and would not hide his internal annoyance as L'Equipe announced last September. During a press conference organized at the start of the season, Jorge Sampaoli had tried to justify the sidelining of the French international: “Amavi had an injury, he is not yet 100% and then there is has a choice of players depending on the system. He played during the preparation, then got injured. He has not been able to play with us for 3 weeks now. We will see if he can be there against Rennes, and we will see the choice of players depending on the opponents and the rotations to be made, because we have a lot of games at the moment ”. Not enough to reassure the player. In an attempt to revive, Amavi could make the decision to leave OM during the next winter transfer window. And a club would be ready to welcome him as early as January.
Amavi to Turkey?
On November 13, the Turkish press mentioned Fenerbahçe 's interest in Jordan Amavi. According to Fotomaç information, the stambouliote club would like to take advantage of the player's complicated situation to complete this file. A possible avenue as confirmed by journalist Ekrem Konur since the formation is looking for a left side. “There are not many details on this file, but Fener are indeed looking for a left-back for this winter,” he said in an interview with the Phocéen. However, the two sides have yet to come to an agreement. While Jordan Amavi no longer plays the leading roles at OM, Pablo Longoria could try to sell him in order to recover cash. But according to Turkish football specialist Atakin Anil , Fenerbahçe have no plans to pay the Marseille club any money in the next winter transfer window. “It is said in Turkey that the Fener could pass to four real defenders, and in this perspective, Jordan Amavi is indeed an element which corresponds perfectly. On the other hand, OM must agree to lend him, because Fener is experiencing financial difficulties and he will not make big transfers this winter, ”he declared in an interview with Le Phocéen. No doubt the future of Amavi will be in the spotlight this winter.
