Bursaspor prices Iheanacho out of Fenerbahçe move—only 'exceptional offer' considered
Bursaspor president Enes Çelik tells Gol TV the club will only sell Kelechi Iheanacho for an "exceptional offer" amid Fenerbahçe's reported January interest. The 30-year-old Nigeria striker has been electric since joining on a free transfer this summer—16 goals and three assists in just 12 Turkish league games.
Fenerbahçe are monitoring the situation for the winter window, but Çelik makes the stance clear: "I want him to stay on the team the most. However, if very high offers come in, we will evaluate them as management. He also wants to bring transfer income to the club."
Iheanacho's form puts him in the Super Eagles conversation ahead of 2026 World Cup qualifiers. A move to a Champions League side like Fenerbahçe would boost his visibility, but regular minutes at Bursaspor keep him sharp. The club holds leverage—no release clause reported, contract runs through 2028.
For Nigerian fans tracking Super Eagles prospects: does Iheanacho's Turkish purple patch warrant a recall, or should he prioritize a step-up move in January to prove it at a higher level?
