Star Signing for Mourinho at Fenerbahce
The Turkish club announced the signing of Allan Saint-Maximin from Al-Ahli. The former Newcastle player arrives on a season-long loan.
Fenerbahce aims to reclaim the Süper Lig throne after 11 years, and after appointing Jose Mourinho as manager, they have announced their first star signing: Allan Saint-Maximin.
The French winger arrives from Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli on a season-long loan. The Turkish club has paid $8.7 million for the loan deal.
Known for his natural talent for dribbling, Saint-Maximin joins Fenerbahce after his stint last season at Al-Ahli, who paid nearly $33 million to recruit him from Newcastle United.
Following a season in Saudi football, the forward will play under Mourinho's guidance in the upcoming campaign.
During this season, he will have the opportunity to repay the trust placed in him by Mourinho and Fenerbahce, who invested significantly in securing his loan.
After making a name for himself at Nice, Saint-Maximin showcased his quality at Newcastle, particularly his exceptional dribbling ability and powerful lower-body strength, making him a constant threat to defenses.
Now, it will be Mourinho's task to harness his full potential in pursuit of the Turkish league title, which has eluded Fenerbahce for 11 years.
