Fenerbahce presidential candidate Hakan Safi is reportedly planning a major announcement regarding the signing of English forward Mason Greenwood, aiming to bolster his election campaign.
This strategic move is intended to capture the attention of voters and present a compelling case against his rival, Aziz Yildirim, just before the crucial election day.
Greenwood, who is currently on loan at French club Marseille, has experienced a highly successful season. He has showcased his talent by scoring an impressive 26 goals and providing 11 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.
His outstanding performances in Ligue 1 did not go unnoticed, earning him a coveted spot in the Team of the Season. This remarkable form has naturally attracted considerable interest from various clubs.
However, despite the reported interest from Fenerbahce and the potential election boost, Greenwood himself has publicly stated his preference to remain at Marseille, where he has found his rhythm and form.
In a further ambitious move, Safi is also said to be in talks to bring AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini to Istanbul. Maldini's potential role would be as the club's chief football strategist and global ambassador.
This dual announcement strategy, if successful, would aim to revitalize Fenerbahce's standing in the football world and re-establish their former glory and dominance.
The effectiveness of these potential signings in swaying the election outcome remains to be seen, especially given Greenwood's stated desire to stay in France.
