Kerem Aktürkoğlu receives Saudi transfer offer as he welcomes newborn daughter

Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli has submitted a formal bid for Turkish forward Kerem Aktürkoğlu, offering a package worth €35 million – €30 million in guaranteed fee plus €5 million in bonuses. Fenerbahçe, his current club, has indicated a higher valuation of around €45 million and is weighing the proposal against the Turkish Football Federation’s new 10+4 foreign‑player rule.

During pre‑season training in Austria, Aktürkoğlu announced the birth of his daughter, Eflin, with his wife Ceren Azak. Fenerbahçe publicly congratulated the couple, wishing the newborn health and happiness. The player confirmed he is focusing on the team’s preparations despite the transfer speculation.

The club’s management has emphasized that any decision will consider both the financial terms and the impact on squad composition, while Aktürkoğlu has expressed a desire to remain with Fenerbahçe unless a compelling offer materialises.
