Asamoah Gyan (Rennes)
Striker - 24 years old
Sabah, Milliyet, Vatan, Habertürk, Fanatik
According to reports in the Turkish press, Asamoah Gyan is still Fenerbahçe's top priority. While it is reported that Fenerbahçe and Liverpool have the best offers for the Rennes striker, Premier League sides Sunderland and West Ham United look to be out of the picture. Milliyet claims that Fenerbahçe officials will conduct talks with the French club this weekend, increasing their former offer. Sabah and Vatan quote a Rennes official who says they are open to negotiate with Fener if there is an increased offer.
Miloš Krasić (CSKA Moscow)
Attacking midfielder - 25 years old
Sabah, Milliyet, Fanatik
While Sabah and Milliyet repeat Miloš Krasić's former statement of, "There is a concrete offer from Fenerbahçe. But with all respect to the Turkish club, it's not worth leaving CSKA for them", Turkish sports daily Fanatik claims that Fenerbahçe are still continuing their pursuit on the 25-year-old Serbian attacking midfielder. Rumours are that the Yellow Canaries are preparing to offer Krasić a hefty salary, hoping to finalize the transfer soon.
Grafite (VfL Wolfsburg)
Striker - 31 years old
Radyospor, Fanatik
According to a report in Fanatik, an agent for VfL Wolfsburg striker Grafite has told Radyospor that his client has not received an offer from Fenerbahçe. The agent stated his client has an ongoing contract with the Bundesliga side and he is expected to return from his post-World Cup holidays and join Wolfsburg's pre-season preparations.
Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham / Galatasaray)
Attacking midfielder - 21 years old
Sabah, Pas Fotomaç
A Pas Fotomaç report, also published in Sabah online, rumours that an agent for Mexican attacking midfielder Giovani dos Santos has sit down for negotiations with Fenerbahçe officials. Rumours are that 21-year-old Giovani dos Santos wants to play for the Yellow Canaries and could be joining ranks at the Kadıköy side on a loan. Giovani is no longer tied with Galatasaray, after the Istanbul club decided not to use the buyout option.
Robbie Keane, Roman Pavlyuchenko (Tottenham Hotspur)
Striker - 30 years old, 28 years old
Lig TV
According to an exclusive Lig TV report on Thursday afternoon, Fenerbahçe officials have snubbed offers from Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko. Rumours are that agents have contacted the Yellow Canaries, stating that both players are keen on joining the Kadıköy side. However, Fenerbahçe have snubbed the offers and are reported to be looking to make younger signings.
AS Nancy-Lorraine striker Issiar Dia, Santos winger/striker Neymar and OGC Nice striker Loïc Rémy have also been linked with Fenerbahçe.
Disclaimer: Fenerbahçe Worldwide does not confirm any of the above rumours or state that they are anything else than mere speculation. Please wait for official announcements from the club management.

+ we need a good DEFENDER next to lugano this aint gonna work with Ilhan , our Bilica :S
and i guess the Right side Aykut will let to Kazim and Ozer.
and also we just got 1more week for an tranfer cuz at the 22th we gotta give UEFA an list of players for the CL ... i wount hope for Hazard and Krasic if i where you guys , hope for a Striker nd that Guiza will go f*cking away !!! :)
Arda is pretty much priceless to Galatasaray so I don't know..
Honestly we don't need a striker. Semih is really good, seriously guys. Deadset he is the best striker Turkey has at the moment, even if hes injured for 10 years, the first thing he'll come back and do is score.
We need a centreback.
I really hope Aykut recognizes that we need to sort out the defence too. Bilica has to go, he's not a good sub or a starter, he just has to go play for some sunday league team or something cos what he's still doing here at this club is beyond me.
I wish we got Dzudszak :(
If it isnt krasic it may be Dos santos which i wudnt mind.
Man i was so excited about the dzsudzsak transfer kozak...but i guess aziz jsut wanted to go for some huge superstar like hazard/krasic..and failed at getting both of them...twat.
We meed a Center Forward, and need a really good one. i'm getting really worried about this guys.
All I want is to go far in Champions League. and win the super lig..
Bursa scored.
only striker who would really fit our system atm is probably Ibrahimovic - but he is impossible to get.
Aziz needs a miracle to get Hazard because money isn't enough for such big talent.
