A Spanish top team would also transfer Attila Szalai – press news
Attila Szalai signed with Turkish top league club Fenerbahce in January 2021 and has become a key player for the team that is in second place and is fighting for the league title. Moreover, Turkish portals regularly write articles about his excellent performance. The last report was on Sunday when Fener won 3-2 against Kasimpasa and where he scored a goal in the 40th minute.
The 23-year-old defender also plays a key role in the Hungarian national team, attracting the attention of several European top teams, according to Turkish media reports. At the end of March, there were news that Leicester City, that plays in the Premier League, was interested in him. Turkish website fanatik.com revealed that Fenerbahce would ask for at least 25 million Euros for their young defender in the summer of 2021.
Also Turkish site sporx.com wrote on Monday that Sevilla, currently fourth in the Spanish league but just three points behind top-ranked Atlético Madrid, would also like to have the Hungarian national team member. The Spanish club could sell 22-year-old Jules Kounde from France in the summer after the successful 2020-21 season, and they are looking for a new talent to replace him.
Sporx.com also mentions that Fenerbahce would ask for at least 25 million Euros for the Hungarian national team defender, but they will not listen to offers until after the European Championships – co-hosted in Hungary in the summer – because they hope his market price will increase afterwards.
