The transfer window was closed due to a scandal between two top clubs in the region. Fenerbahce made a strong statement, explaining the reasons for the intense exchange, in which the Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesiri would move to Saudi Arabia, and the champion of the world, the Frenchman N'Golo Kante, would go to.
According to Canary representatives, the transfer was completed through the approval of Al-Ittihad managers when entering data into the FIFA TMS system, and later through the increased presence of communication with the Saudis. In its official statement, Fenerbahce underlined that it has completed its duties immediately: the workers have undergone a medical examination, the contracts have been approved, and the necessary documents have been obtained from the transfer system..
" However, due to incorrect entry of relevant information into TMS by another club, the process could not be completed within the registration period, which became independent of our club,” the application says.
The Turks also noted that they were planning to turn the situation around even after the deadline, having returned to FIFA with plans to give an additional hour to correct the technical problem. Prote Al-Ittihad actually sabotaged this process. “Unrespected at this point, the other club did not complete the process, without giving the necessary priming,” Fenerbahce added.
It's time to put offense to teams in a twisted position. Fenerbahce has lost the opportunity to strengthen the center of the field with Kante, who has invested in the coaching staff. Now the club will have to reintegrate to the En-Nesiri warehouse, which is actually already sitting on the valises.
