Fenerbahçe SK have completed one of the most notable signings of the 2026 summer transfer window in the Süper Lig by acquiring Mason Greenwood. A report by BeIN Sports on September 2, 2026, highlighted this move among the top five confirmed transfers in the league before the registration deadline.
Fenerbahçe signed 24-year-old forward Mason Greenwood from Olympique de Marseille. Transfermarkt records the transfer fee at €39 million. Greenwood penned a contract with Fenerbahçe until June 2030. The versatile player can operate from the right wing, as a second striker, or through the middle. During his two seasons at Marseille, he scored 37 goals in 66 Ligue 1 appearances. This signing comes as Fenerbahçe sit 4th in the Süper Lig with 6 points from 3 games, recording 2 wins and 1 loss. They trail leaders Galatasaray by just 1 point and have a goal difference of +3, having scored 7 and conceded 4. Their position in the standings shows their ambition to strengthen the squad.
Who were the other major Süper Lig signings?
The BeIN Sports report notes that Galatasaray and Beşiktaş also made ambitious moves alongside Fenerbahçe. Galatasaray signed 27-year-old Portuguese winger Rafael Leão from AC Milan for a fee valued at around €38 million by Transfermarkt. Leão signed a four-year contract. He recorded 80 goals and 65 assists in 291 appearances for Milan, winning the 2021/22 Serie A title and the Italian Super Cup.
Beşiktaş secured several significant additions. The club made Orkun Kökçü's move from Benfica permanent after a loan spell, with Transfermarkt listing the fee at €30 million. The 25-year-old Turkey international signed until June 2030. The Black-Whites also signed Dušan Vlahović on a free transfer after his contract with Juventus expired. The 26-year-old Serbian striker agreed to a three-year deal through the end of the 2028/29 season. Vlahović scored 10 goals in 23 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League in his final campaign in Italy. Another Beşiktaş signing was 31-year-old Belgian Leandro Trossard from Arsenal for a fee valued at €18 million by Transfermarkt. Trossard signed a three-year contract with an option for a fourth. He made 174 appearances and scored 36 goals for Arsenal and can play as a winger, second striker, or central forward.
Where will Mason Greenwood fit at Fenerbahçe?
Greenwood's versatile playing style will provide the manager with tactical flexibility. His ability to cut inside and shoot from the right, create as a supporting forward, or act as a central goal threat makes him a key option for Fenerbahçe's attacking line. He will increase competition in the forward and winger positions within the current squad. The goal productivity he demonstrated at Marseille is a major source of hope for the yellow-navy blue supporters. Expected to bolster an attack that has shown a WWL (Win, Win, Loss) form in the first three matchweeks, his impact will be closely watched.
When did the transfer window close?
The Turkish Football Federation set the deadline for the Süper Lig summer registration period as September 4, 2026. The BeIN Sports compilation focuses on transfers completed and confirmed before this date. This means clubs have now finalized their squads for this period. The high-profile investments by Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Beşiktaş signal an intensifying competition in the league for the season ahead.
With the transfer window closed, Fenerbahçe now turn their focus to the league campaign. The team's next fixture is an away match against 9th-placed Başakşehir on December 6, 2026. Mason Greenwood, under a contract running until the summer of 2030, aims to play a key role in this challenge.
