The Chelsea defender Malang Sarr offered loan transfer by Fenerbahce after struggling at Porto
CHELSEA defender Malang Sarr is wanted by Fenerbahce, according to reports in Turkey.
Sarr, 22, signed for the Blues last summer, before joining Porto on loan.
And he could depart on a temporary basis once again, with Takvim reporting Fenerbahce’s interest.
The Turkish giants were keen on Sarr last summer but were beaten to his signature by Chelsea, with the centre-back joining on a free and signing a five-year deal.
That did not deter Fenerbahce’s interest in the Frenchman, however.
And Sarr is not thought to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the upcoming season, so he could leave on loan.
He should be keen to impress after struggling from a lack of game time last term.
Sarr made just eight league appearances at Porto.
He did gain valuable experience in the Champions League, helping to keep a clean sheet against Manchester City and featuring in the second leg as Porto knocked out Juventus.
