Interesting link.

No secret that Fenerbahce rate Janssen, and we've allegedly been looking at Elmas for some time.

Elmas was also supposedly being looked at by Real, Bayern and City earlier in the year but I'll wait until he gets his own player thread before I post the links.

Of course this could just be journalists putting two and two together and coming up with clickbait, interesting though.

The Turkish media have been selling Elmas to us for months now. Every deal we've put in has been amazing huge offers which Fenerbache have agreed to... and despite them all being agreed we keep sending them better and better deals! Out of the kindness of our hearts I am sure. Like I'm not saying he's not on our radar or we won't buy him but these stories need a massive life treating amount of salt to be applied.

Unsure what's in it for the Turkish media tbh

Clicks. Retweets. Media attention. The usual stuff.
Maybe Erdogan is just a big Janssen fan.

Completely unrelated fun fact, a quick google of “Erdogan football” reveals that, apparently, Erdogan was best man at Ozil’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.

Correct. Ozil really is THAT much of a loathsome ****.

The Turkish media link us to players and done deals every window. None of them ever happen.
The Turkish and Portuguese media in particular seem to love a sudden DONE DEAL, they then tell you its done for weeks, before it inevitably fades to nothing. If it does happen, they knew all along apparently.

The twitter itk of media sources.
