Turkish Super Lig side, Fenerbahce are highly unlikely to sign former Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses on a permanent deal, despite having the option to buy the winger at the end of their loan agreement.
The 28-year-old is too expensive for the Turkish club due to his £75,000-a-week wages, in addition to the fee required to sign him.
Moses’ contract with Chelsea expires in 2021 and it will leave the player available to leave on a cut-price deal next summer.
Despite not being in the club’s long-term plans, Moses has been influential for the Turkish giants with four goals in 14 Super Lig appearances last season.
Moses began 2019-20 with a goal and an assist in his solitary appearance for the club but has since suffered a muscle injury in the 5-0 win over Gazisehir on August 19.
Fener failed to qualify for Europe last season, while they are also facing sanctions for a failure to appease UEFA’s Financial Fair Play target that required them to balance spending with revenue.
That is thought to be a significant restriction for the club’s transfer activity, including the signing of Moses.
The loan move to Turkey is the fourth for the former Nigeria international since he joined Chelsea from Wigan Athletic in August 2012.
