Fenerbahce have continued their messy divorce with Jose Mourinho by taking a look at Karim Benzema.
Fotomac in Turkey claim that the Al Ittihad striker is their top target for the January transfer window with Youssef En-Nesyri playing poorly and Jhon Duran suffering a long-term injury.
Ballon d’Or winner Benzema is an attractive proposition as his contract at Ittihad expires in the summer meaning he could be available for a cut price.
The only other club to be seriously linked to his signing is Benfica, with reports that Mourinho called his former Real Madrid player to discuss the move.
Fenerbahce and Benfica going for the same player could end up being a fascinating story as Mourinho left one for the other at the start of the season.
Having gone trophyless in his debut campaign, Mourinho then dropped out of the Champions League qualifiers and was sacked.
Shortly after he rocked up at Benfica and upset his old side with a number of comments, including one that he was now ‘back at his level’ in Portugal.
