Fenerbahce, Mourinho: “I thank the president for Soyuncu, I also wanted him at Roma”

Since he sat on the bench of the Fenerbahce, Jose Mourinho couldn’t be happier. Since he landed in Turkey, after parting badly with Roma, everything is going swimmingly with his new club. As highlighted by Special One for the news of Çağlar Soyüncü returned to Fener after a loan spell at Atlético Madrid.

The thanks: “I am very happy. I thank our president because he was one of the players I wanted to keep. Çağlar has qualities that I like a lot as a central defender. I had already told him that I wanted him to stay. In our team we always want players who want to stay at the club and who are committed. Before arriving at Fenerbahçe, I was interested in him when I worked at Roma, I wanted to bring him to the team, but it was not possible”, commented the Portuguese coach as reported by the newspaper AS.

On the background of Söyüncü’s return to Yellow Canaries: “He knows what I want and I know what he wants. He loves this place very much and wanted to move here permanently. Atlético Madrid had many options,” Mourinho said, “but our club did a great job. Çağlar also made an effort to stay here. Tomorrow he will come with us to Austria. The training camp we will spend in Austria is very important, because we have many players at the European Championship, which he could not participate in due to injury. So he will start working with us tomorrow. It will be very important for the team,” he concluded.
