Fenerbahce Sign French Midfielder Matteo Guendouzi From Lazio

Fenerbahce signed Guendouzi on a 4½-year deal to boost his France national team chances and aid their pursuit of a Turkish league title after 12 years.

  • Late Thursday, Fenerbahce announced France midfielder Matteo Guendouzi moved from Lazio to the Istanbul club, signing a 4 1/2-year contract with a reportedly 28 million euro fee.
  • Guendouzi moved to regain international standing after missing Euro 2024 selection and not playing in France national team's World Cup qualifiers this season.
  • The club sits 12th in the 36-team Europa League this month under coach Domenico Tedesco, with Matteo Guendouzi eligible for knockout phase starting in February if Fenerbahce advances.
  • Fenerbahce is chasing its first league crown in 12 years and remains unbeaten domestically but trails defending Turkish champion Galatasaray by three points.
  • France was drawn into a World Cup group with Senegal, Norway and the playoff bracket winner from Iraq, Bolivia and Suriname, raising stakes as Guendouzi moves to Fenerbahce trying to regain his France national team spot.
