José Mourinho is determined to reduce the six-point gap between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray in the Turkish Super League. To achieve this, the Portuguese coach has requested key reinforcements from the board in the upcoming winter transfer window. Among the coach's priorities are Sergio Reguilón, currently at Tottenham, and Mario Hermoso of AS Roma, as possible additions.
The need to strengthen the defense is evident following the absences affecting the team. Jaden Oostervold will be out for the remainder of the season due to a serious injury, while Becao and Samet Akaydin will also be unavailable for Mourinho. According to AS, these absences have led the coach to seek versatile players who can perform as center-backs and left-backs, where Reguilón and Hermoso fit perfectly.
Two players who have lost importance in their respective clubs
In Mario Hermoso's case, AS Roma would be willing to negotiate his departure due to his limited role under Claudio Ranieri. On the other hand, Reguilón has lost ground at Tottenham and could consider a move to Turkish football to regain continuity.
Fenerbahçe is also considering options such as Reinildo Mandava from Atlético de Madrid and Juan Miranda from Bologna, although Mourinho insists on the experience of Hermoso and Reguilón as the best alternatives. With the winter market commencing on January 13, it will be crucial for the Turkish club to act swiftly to meet the demands of their coach and keep the title race alive.
