Our club has reached an agreement with the player and his club for the transfer of Abdou Aziz Fall, who plays for the Senegalese club Essamaye. Signing a 5-year contract, we wish our player every success in the Yellow and Navy Blue jersey, the Istanbul-based club said in a statement.
Fall is expected to participate in the upcoming pre-season preparations under new manager José Mourinho.
The Portuguese coach, known for his focus on tactical discipline and development of young talent, is reportedly keen to evaluate the midfielder during training.
Should Fall impress during the camp, he may earn a place in the first team for the 2025-2026 season.
Fenerbahçe has been actively reshaping its squad as it prepares for both domestic competition and European fixtures.
The acquisition of Fall reflects the club’s commitment to integrating fresh talent into its long-term sporting project.
Sources within the club have suggested that Mourinho sees potential in Fall’s ability to adapt quickly to European football, both technically and physically.
The move has generated excitement among Senegalese football followers, who view Fall as one of the promising talents from the country’s next generation.
His technical skills, vision, and composure in midfield have already earned him comparisons with several senior national team players.
With the Turkish Süper Lig set to begin in August, the spotlight will now be on Fall’s adjustment to his new environment and the intensity of European-level football.
Should he thrive under Mourinho’s guidance, he could become a regular fixture in one of Turkey’s most storied clubs.
For now, Fenerbahçe fans await his debut, hopeful that the teenage signing can contribute meaningfully to the team’s ambitions in the seasons ahead.
