Chelsea Reject Fernerbahce’s Initial Bid for Victor Moses

By Daily Sports on April 3, 2019

Premier League giants Chelsea have reportedly rejected an initial bid from Turkish club Fenerbahce for the permanent signing of Nigerian winger Victor Moses.

According to Ajansspor, the Istanbul-based side offered a fee of €5million which was quickly rejected by the Blues. Fenerbahce, who have Moses on loan until the end of the season, will have to increase the figure substantially to secure the Nigerian for the long term.

The report added that the Turkish club’s sporting director Damien Comolli is expected to go to England to meet face to face with the Chelsea executives and thrash out a deal.

Comolli, who previously worked at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, played a key role in convincing Moses to join Fenerbahce in the January transfer window.

The former Nigeria international has been on the books of Chelsea since 2012 but a failure to win favour under current manager Maurizio Sarri suggests his future lies elsewhere.

The 28-year-old was a key figure under previous manager Antonio Conte, who deployed a 3-4-3 system which allowed Moses to thrive as an adapted right wingback. However, under Sarri’s 4-3-3 formation the Nigerian is not suited to a fullback role and faces stiff competition to play on the right side of attack from Pedro and Willian.
