Transfer market Ethan Mbappé: Fenerbahçe targets LOSC's young midfielder
In the corridors of the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, Ethan Mbappé, 19, is enjoying a brilliant start to the season with LOSC, while his contract ends on June 30, sparking interest from several clubs, including Turkish giant Fenerbahçe in Turkey.
His contract with the Dogs will close on June 30, putting the young midfielder at the centre of discussions. Several clubs have already shown interest, scrutinising every development of his file.
Fenerbahçe bets on the young Dog
Intermediary agents are said to have presented the 19‑year‑old to the Turkish management. The younger brother of Kylian Mbappé perfectly matches the profile sought by the Istanbul club, which relies on a quick and technical style of play.
After filling its quota of foreign players in the senior squad, Fener is forced to turn to players under 23. This rule makes Lille's Dog particularly attractive to recruiters in the Turkish capital.
Lille wants to retain its hope
LOSC still hopes to keep Ethan. Olivier Létang and his staff are working to extend the youngster's stay, convinced of his potential and his impact on the current campaign.
According to the same source, Fener 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 yet said its final word.
It remains to be seen what Kylian Mbappé, former Paris Saint‑Germain player, will think of this possible deal, as the approaches concerning his brother multiply.
