Fenerbahce are reported to be back in the race to sign Vinicius Souza from Lommel.Â
The Brazilian midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Celtic but is at the centre of mystery as a signed player with Lommel of the Belgian Second Division.Â
As part of the City Football Group there is little likelihood of Souza turning out for Lommel with his signing designed to raise to raise the maximum transfer fee.Â
Last season Souza impressed on loan at Mechelen, with Fenerbahce facing Dynamo Kiev in Champions League qualifier on July 20 the Turkish side are anxious to get transfer business completed.Â
Turkish site Takvim reports:Â
Continuing to work in line with the demands of Jorge Jesus, the Yellow-Navy Blue staffs have reduced the candidates for the defensive midfielder to two. Lommel player Vinicius Souza, who spent the last season on loan in Mechelen, wants 9 million Euros for the transfer of the club, while the yellow-dark blue managers continue their negotiations.Â
Sportx.com claim:Â
Celtic’s aspire to Lommel’s star Vinicius Souza, causing the Belgian team to open the door for at least 5 million euros. However, if Jesus insists, this figure can be sacrificed for Sambac?.Â
There seems to be a wide variation in the reported transfer fee, with his Lommel contract running until May 2025 the Belgian side are in no rush to cash in on the midfielder.Â
Having resigned three loan players and added Ben Siegrist and Alexandro Bernabei to hi squad Ange Postecoglou has got the bulk of his transfer business completed with just a defensive midfielder and centre-half still to be added.Â
