Sources in Italy suggest that Fenerbahçe are actively monitoring Lookman’s situation, and the player’s representatives are reportedly favourable to the move.

Currently with the Super Eagles at the AFCON 2025 in Morocco, Lookman is expected to continue negotiations after the tournament. Known for his versatility, he can play on both wings, as a striker, or in attacking midfield, making him a valuable target for Fenerbahçe, who are expected to intensify efforts to secure his signature.
