Fenerbahçe is reportedly making a strong push to sign Turkish national team outside hitter Efe Mandıracı, fueling growing speculation about his possible return to Türkiye.
Mandıracı, who plays for Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza in Italy and is signed through the 2027/28 season, is said to be in advanced discussions with Fenerbahçe Medicana. The 22-year-old has been competing in Serie A1 since last year. Local reports say Fenerbahçe accelerated talks after its recent match against Galatasaray, hoping to bring Mandıracı into the squad as soon as possible.
According to circulating rumors and claims, Fenerbahçe has offered compensation for the contract buyout to Piacenza in order to complete the transfer. Mandıracı’s Turkish rights are held by Arkas Spor, which can claim the player under the same conditions. If Arkas declines and Piacenza approves the offer, Fenerbahçe is prepared to complete the move.
The clubs have not issued official comments on the reported negotiations.
