Fenerbahçe targets Ethan Mbappé as Lille contract expires on June 30

Lille Ethan Mbappé, whose contract with the Dogs ends on June 30, is attracting attention after a very good start to the season with LOSC. The 19‑year‑old midfielder, brother of the famous Kylian, is already drawing interest from several clubs, including Turkish giant Fenerbahçe.

After a very good start to the season with LOSC, the midfielder quickly won over observers. His dynamic play and his ability to create chances were highlighted by Lille's coaches.

His contract with the Dogs ends on June 30, triggering a race among clubs. Several teams are closely monitoring Ethan Mbappé's situation, including Turkish giant Fenerbahçe.

Fenerbahçe bets on the young midfielder

According to TransferFeed, intermediary agents have presented the 19‑year‑old player to Fenerbahçe's executives. The Istanbul club believes the profile of the young Frenchman fits perfectly with the playing style they are seeking.

Having reached its foreign player quota, Fenerbahçe is forced to prioritize players under 23. This constraint puts Ethan Mbappé, born in 2005, in a good position on the club's short‑list.

Lille still hopes to retain the talent. Olivier Létang and his staff are working to extend Ethan Mbappé's deal, convinced of his potential.

The Turkish academy's management is awaiting the final reports from its recruitment unit and sporting director Oguz Cetin before going on the offensive. Lille, for its part, has not said its last word.
