The Portuguese manager demands the resources to build a top team for the coming season.
This season, Galatasaray were completely superior in the Süper Lig. – They beat Fenerbahçe with a whopping 11 points in what was Jose Mourinho’s first season in Turkey. – Next season, will be the last (we think) unless there is both league gold and success in Europe.
Fenerbahçe have taken the initiative to investigate the situation of Lucas Vázquez, who could leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup. According to sources close to the Turkish club, this operation is a direct response to a desire from José Mourinho, who sees the Galician player as an ideal choice to strengthen the right-back position in his relatively new project in Istanbul.

Mourinho asked for the signing of Lucas Vázquez
The opportunity to join a club that fights for titles and participates in European competitions is not overlooked. Fenerbahçe, who finished second in the Turkish Super League with 84 points, are aiming to take a decisive step forward and see the signing of a player with the Spaniard’s experience and versatility as a clear signal in that direction.
There is optimism in Turkey about the transfer, but in Valdebebas they have not yet closed their chapter with Lucas. The Galician player, who has been a trusted player at Real Madrid for almost a decade, could consider other offers, although the opportunity to work under Mourinho – a coach who knows the club well – could be crucial.
The summer will reveal the outcome of this story. For now, Fenerbahçe have shown their first sign of interest, and Lucas Vázquez is considering whether his future lies in Istanbul under the leadership of one of European football’s most charismatic coaches.
