'You can't sell it!'

Jose Mourinho has officially asked Fenerbahce's club. It is a request to never sell his team's key midfielder, Ferdinand Cardioglu, 25.

However, there is a high possibility that the club's board of directors will not listen to Mourinho's request. This is because love calls for Cardio Glou are pouring in. Moreover, thanks to his performance in Euro 2024, his value has risen further.



British media Tim Talk reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Mourinho is trying to prevent his team's key players from moving to Manchester United and others' It is said that Mourinho is trying to prevent the transfer of Cardio Glu, who is a key midfielder of Fenerbahce and is active as a member of Turkiye's national team. However, there is a high possibility that Mourinho's efforts will go to waste.

Cardio Glu was in high demand even before Euro 2024. Cardio Glou, who showed good performance with three goals and five assists last season, was already receiving great attention from Arsenal and Wolverhampton. However, Arsenal's interest in Ricardo Calafior was somewhat cooled after signing him from Bologna. Wolverhampton also turned passive.

In this atmosphere, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United are rapidly showing interest in Cardioglou. Dortmund set a transfer fee of 20 million euros (18 million euros + bonus of 2 million euros) for Cardio Glou. But once Fenerbahce refused. Fenerbahce wants more than 25 million euros.

United approached after this situation. Team Talk predicted that Cardioglou is more likely to move to Manchester United given the flexibility of the transfer negotiation process.



But the biggest challenge has emerged. It is Mourinho's active intervention. Mourinho, through Fenerbahce's board of directors, asked for Cardioglu to be blocked from transferring. Mourinho's urgency to protect the core resources of the newly appointed team is felt.

The problem is that Mourinho's intervention may not have much effect in front of market logic. If Fenerbahce receives an offer of more than 25 million euros, there is no stopping Cardioglou's transfer. The player himself actively wants to advance to the big league.
