Exequiel Palacios has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Fenerbahce, with the Super Lig side said to be eyeing a move for the Leverkusen midfielder. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if West Ham decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. So far this season, Fenerbahce are steady at both ends (1.71 goals scored per game, 0.71 goals conceded per game). The role for Exequiel Palacios would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Leverkusen continue to be linked with Facundo Valentin Buonanotte, Maghnes Akliouche and Rasmus Winther Hojlund while Fenerbahce are also rumoured to be tracking Leandro Trossard, Alisson and Alejandro Garnacho.
