Fenerbahce boss, Jose Mourinho has reportedly set his sights on Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof as a potential addition to his squad this summer.
According to Teamtalk (via EPL Index), Mourinho is keen on bringing the Swedish defender to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, where he aims to continue his storied managerial career in Turkey.
The former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager, who has achieved significant success across Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, is now looking to solidify his legacy in Turkey.
After being appointed as Fenerbahce’s manager following Jorge Jesus’ departure, Mourinho is determined to strengthen the team that narrowly missed out on the Turkish league title to Galatasaray despite amassing 99 points in the 2023-24 season.
The Portuguese coach is focused on reinforcing Fenerbahce’s defense and sees a reunion with Lindelof, whom he previously coached at Manchester United, as a strategic move.
Since his €35 million transfer from Benfica in 2017, Lindelof has struggled to become a consistent starter for the Red Devils.
The centre-back made 259 appearances for Man United, with 45 of those under Mourinho.
