Fenerbahçe is pushing to sign Alanyaspor's successful defender Ümit Akdağ. The club has prepared a takas formula including star player Cengiz Ünder plus €5M. According to reports, Alanyaspor is not warm to the takas offer due to Cengiz Ünder's high salary.

Salary issue

Cengiz Ünder earns €3.6M annually at Fenerbahçe. Alanyaspor is reportedly only willing to pay €1M. The transfer could go through if Fenerbahçe covers the remaining part of Cengiz's salary.
