🚨 BREAKINIG: Fenerbahçe complete defensive double signing

Fenerbahçe Fortifies Defense with Premier League and Serie A Stars

Istanbul club secures experienced duo to bolster backline for upcoming season

Fenerbahçe has significantly strengthened its defensive capabilities with the double signing of seasoned defenders Milan Škriniar and Nélson Semedo. The Turkish giants announced the acquisitions on Thursday, signaling their intent to compete fiercely in the 2025-26 campaign.

Semedo, a 31-year-old Portuguese right-back, brings valuable experience from both the Premier League and La Liga, having previously played for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Barcelona. Known for his exceptional pace, technical skill, and attacking contributions down the flank, Semedo is expected to provide Fenerbahçe with a modern and dynamic presence on the right side of their defense.

On the other side of the backline, 30-year-old Slovakian center-back Škriniar arrives from Paris Saint-Germain after a successful spell with Inter Milan. A formidable force at the heart of the defense and a leader on the field, Škriniar’s signing represents a major defensive upgrade for Fenerbahçe. Should he return to his former form, he has the potential to become the cornerstone of their ambitions both domestically and in European competitions.

These signings follow a summer transfer strategy focused on bolstering key positions. Fenerbahçe has already brought in Sofyan Amrabat and Archie Brown, indicating an all-out effort for success in the upcoming season after narrowly missing out on the Süper Lig title in recent years.
