Ajax scouts set to attend Beşiktaş vs. Fenerbahçe with focus on one key player | OneFootball

According to Ekrem Konur, Ajax have sent scouts to Türkiye to watch Saturday’s showdown between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. The scouts will pay close attention to 24-year-old Oğuz Aydın, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Amsterdam club due to his past with head coach Francesco Farioli.

Oğuz Aydın joined Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe last summer from fellow Süper Lig side Alanyaspor. Farioli was his previous manager and is now reportedly interested in linking up with the winger at Ajax. However, the Eredivisie giants face competition from several other European sides.

Scouts from Rennes and Sevilla are also set to attend Saturday’s derby, focusing on Aydın. The Türkiye international joined Fenerbahçe for around €6m, meaning a higher fee would be required for him to leave. A January move for the forward seems unlikely given the short time he’s had at the club, but a switch next summer could potentially be on the cards.
