Foot Mercato are reporting that Marseille centre-back Luan Peres (28) is close to joining Turkish side Fenerbahçe. The Brazilian will replace Kim Min-jae (25), who was close to joining Rennes but is instead set to join Napoli.
Peres, a favourite of former manager Jorge Sampaoli, doesn’t figure in new manager Igor Tudor’s plans, according to L’Équipe. So despite only arriving last summer for €4.5m and possessing a contract that runs until 2025, he is set to leave. Fenerbahçe are now in discussions to sign the centre-back, and according to Foot Mercato, Peres is close to departing.
In his debut season in France, Peres was ever-present in Sampaoli’s Marseille side. He featured in all but five of Marseille’s Ligue 1 fixtures and overall featured 49 times for the club.
It was recently revealed by La Provence and that the club would first have to sell before bringing in further recruits.
