Fenerbahçe seeks to sign Talbi.

Turkish club Fenerbahçe continues its activity in the transfer market, eyeing Moroccan international Shamseddine Talbi as one of its targets, preparing to make an offer for him during the upcoming winter transfer window, according to British and Turkish media reports.

According to “turkish-football,” the Turkish club's management considers the Sunderland player among its targets, as coach Ismail Kartal aims to enhance the team's attacking options, particularly on the wings, with players known for their speed and ability to excel in one-on-one situations.

Talbi impresses Fenerbahçe officials with his versatility to play in multiple positions in the front line, as he can operate as a winger or an attacking midfielder, providing tactical flexibility that aligns with the Turkish team's needs.

Fenerbahçe sees the Moroccan player as a project that could provide an immediate impact, in addition to having room for development given Talbi's age, which is just 21.

However, Fenerbahçe will face a tough task, as Talbi is under contract with Sunderland until June 2030, and he holds a good position within the English club's project, which seems unwilling to let him go easily in the middle of the season.

Current information suggests that the market value of the Moroccan player is estimated at around €25 million, which could make any attempt to sign him in January costly, especially with Sunderland's insistence on retaining his services.

Fenerbahçe's interest comes at a time when the Turkish club is looking to strengthen its squad in preparation for a tough competition on multiple fronts, both domestically and in Europe, as team officials hope to utilize the winter transfer window to provide additional options in the attacking line.

Talbi has played two matches with Sunderland since the start of the current season, managing to score one goal, while awaiting a greater opportunity to participate with the English team in the upcoming period.

It seems that the performance the Moroccan international has delivered recently has brought his name back into the spotlight of European clubs, with Fenerbahçe emerging as one of the leading clubs linked with a potential signing.

Talbi's fate remains tied to Sunderland's stance and the offer that the Turkish club may present during the winter transfer window.
