Prior to the summer transfer window, Sebastian Szymanski was reportedly attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
Since joining Fenerbahce in the summer, the Polish international has been in incredible form, having already contributed 26 goals this season from midfield.
Szymanski cost just under €10 million (£8.5 million) to join the Istanbul giants, but considering the 24-year-old’s form, Fenerbahce is now hoping to nearly triple their investment in less than a year.
With a deal that expires in 2027, the Turkish team is well-positioned in the market and may attempt to incite a bidding war between the three Premier League teams who are interested.
According to Fichajes, Spurs were the first to express interest in Szymanski; however, Man United, Arsenal, and Serie A team Napoli have since expressed interest as well.
According to the article, Fener’s valuation of €25 million (£21.5 million) is thought to be above Napoli’s budget; the Partenopei are only prepared to invest €18 million (£15.5 million). Napoli may be priced out of a deal.
Prior to the 2019–20 season, Szymanski secured a lucrative transfer to Dynamo Moscow in Russia, having made his breakthrough at Legia Warsaw at the age of 17.
With his form continuing to improve, Szymanski shone in the 2021–22 campaign, helping Dynamo finish third with 13 league goals; nevertheless, the War in Ukraine, which broke out that same year, raised questions about his future with the team.
Dynamo was barred from the Europa League due to Russian clubs’ exclusion from European participation, and in the summer of 2022, Szymanski would sign a loan to Feyenoord.
Szymanski flourished in the demanding environment of De Kuip, leading the team to the Eredivisie title and a remarkable run in the Europa League, where he scored 10 or more goals in a single campaign.

Over the summer, Szymanski chose to join Dusan Tadic, Edin Dzeko, and Fred at Fenerbahce, so the Dutch champions would not be able to sign him permanently.
Fener managed to acquire their man for a reduced fee, considering the precarious situation of Russian teams. In the event that Szymanski departs in the summer, Fener stands to gain significantly.
During the forthcoming international break, the midfielder is expected to play for Poland, who could qualify for the summer European Championships.
Szymanski might be able to demonstrate his skills on the grandest platform if he can secure qualification, which might also increase his profile and cost.
