In an interview he gave to the Belgian press this week, Standard Liège defender Oguchi Onyewu hinted that the Fenerbahçe transfer rumours were true. Onyewu gave no comment about his transfer rumours but smiled at the Belgian reporter when asked about Fenerbahçe. Meanwhile reports also indicate that as days go by, Oguchi Onyewu is getting more and more suitors across the continent.

For the past two weeks now, US defender Oguchi Onyewu is being linked with a transfer to Fenerbahçe. The Standard Liège defender is currently out of contract and eligible to sign with any club. Fenerbahçe Worldwide had also previously reported that the Yellow Canaries had offered Onyewu a €2,3 million per year contract, the most serious offer in the 27-year-old's hands according to reports.

Despite giving no comments about his transfer rumours, in an interview he gave to the Belgian press, US central defender Oguchi Onyewu hinted that the Fenerbahçe offer was true. Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure published an interview on Tuesday and commented that Onyewu had sent a smile to Fenerbahçe.

When asked whether he would take a vacation, now that the Confederations Cup is over Oguchi Onyewu replied, "Vacation? I don't know. It depends on the club that I will sign with, because most of the European clubs have already begun their pre-season training camps."

The DH reporter then asked the 27-year-old defender which club he would sign with. When Onyewu preferred to give no comment about the subject, the Belgian reporter began naming the clubs he has been linked with. "PSG? Fenerbahçe? Fiorentina? Palermo? Fulham? Birmingham?"

According to the DH interview, Onyewu smiled when the Belgian reporter asked about Fenerbahçe. The DH reporter commented, "His smile made us think that the Fenerbahçe rumours were in fact based on a serious interest. A three-year contract worth €2,3 million, not entirely false?"

While this interview strengthens the possibility of Onyewu's transfer to Fenerbahçe, the latest reports indicate that more European clubs have begun chasing the 27-year-old American defender.

Goal.com rumoured on Wednesday that Dutch giants Ajax were also in pursuit of the free agent defender. Ajax recently sold Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen to Premiership side Arsenal for a deal worth €12 million. According to Goal.com, Oguchi Onyewu now has a total of eleven suitors: Standard Liège, Fenerbahçe, Paris St. Germain, Olympique de Marseille, U.S. Città di Palermo, Parma, Fulham, Portsmouth, Birmingham City, Rubin Kazan & Ajax.
