éderson Wants Fenerbahce Exit After One Season

éderson is looking to leave Fenerbahce this summer after joining from Manchester City last year. The goalkeeper is claimed to be unhappy at the club, and that leaves Fenerbahce facing an early decision on whether to enter the market for a replacement.

Ederson and Fenerbahce

That search is already taking shape. Fenerbahce are expected to move for a new shot-stopper in the summer window, with the squad now set up for a possible change in goal only one year after Ederson arrived.

The timing matters because this is not a routine renewal. Fenerbahce signed him last year, but the summer now brings the possibility of cutting short that plan before it has properly settled.

Martinez in Fenerbahce sights

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez is firmly in Fenerbahce's sights, and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak is also among the options. Martinez, 33, joined Villa from Arsenal in September 2020 on a four-year contract at Villa Park and later won the Golden Glove award at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

He was already a player Fenerbahce had tried to land before. Aziz Yildirim held talks with Martinez before the 2024 election, but the move collapsed after Yildirim failed to win the vote.

Aziz Yildirim's vote

That election now sits inside the transfer story. Any move for Martinez depends on Yildirim being elected as Fenerbahce president, so the club's goalkeeper plans are tied to the result of a club vote as much as to the transfer market itself.

Martinez also carries form and profile that make him a high-end target. He is expected to play a key role in Argentina's title defence at this year's World Cup, while Fenerbahce must decide whether to chase him again or turn to another name if Ederson does go.

For Fenerbahce, the immediate job is clear: keep the goalkeeping plan from drifting while Ederson's future is unresolved. If he leaves, the club will need a new No. 1, and the next move may depend on both the summer window and the presidential vote.
