I already asked this question here but got ignored
The question was if Fener fans would welcome Kim Min-jae back.
Some outlets here in my country are reporting that Fener could be very interested in getting him back.
But I have no clue how unpopular his departure was.

Kim Min Jae left Fenerbahçe on good terms. We can say that Fenerbahçe fans have a soft spot for him. His return would be warmly welcomed by the fans, and such reports are circulating in our media as well. In particular, it has been reported that the current president, Sadettin Saran, is making a major effort to bring Kim Min Jae back as a final favor to the team. If he does return, he will be welcomed positively—meaning he didn’t leave on bad terms.

He was a player with many fond memories of Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe marketed him to Europe and helped him reach great heights. Perhaps the Korean player will want to reciprocate this and return to Fenerbahçe. I think he would make a huge contribution to Fenerbahçe because their biggest problem is their defense, they have a shortage of central defenders, and the Korean player could fix that.

Fenerbahçe are looking for a center-back like Kim Min-jae, and many fans would be happy if he returned. However, Bayern Munich would probably sell him for a very high fee, and his salary would also be expensive.
Another question is whether Kim Min-jae even wants to return to Türkiye, because he has always said that he wants to play for a big club in Europe.
He is a very good player and could solve Fenerbahçe’s defensive problems.

I absolutely agree. I’d say we’re on the same page, but I think Esenler Erokspor achieved a result that surprised everyone. We’ve seen once again just how much Çorum FK wanted to be promoted to the Super League. Çorum FK also has some former players from our league, and I think their stadium is lovely too.

Surely I never expected Esenler Erokspor to lose the play off match against Çorum FK, so I totally agree with you that Esenler Erokspor achieved a result that surprised everyone on Sunday. Maybe it's some of the former players from Turkish Super League Çorum FK has in their team that helped them win Esenler Erokspor.

[CLS63]

Esenler Erokspor lost their promotion match because they parted ways with their manager Osman Özköylü. They reached this stage thanks to his strategies and game plan.

This affected them really negatively as they looked like they didn't know what to do against Çorum FK. As a result they struggled and missed the chance of promoting to the Super League.

The newly promoted teams will technically be the most likely ones to relegate back to the 2nd league for now. But we will see if some of them manage to hold on for another year.

One of Fenerbahçe’s biggest problems this season was definitely fielding just one center back. Çağlar Söyüncü isn’t a center back, Oosterwolde isn’t naturally a center back, and on top of that, Yiğit Efe is, after all, a young player. Failing to add a center back during the winter transfer window was perhaps one of the biggest mistakes of the season. At the very least, the team needs to be well-structured before the new season begins in order to establish dominance in the league.

Thanks for the replies @execijutiere @Silence Scream @MK-74

I'm glad to hear that there is no bad blood between Fenerbahce fans and Kim Min-jae
From all the interviews and statements Min-jae made I know that his time in Istanbul was something special for him, he never talks like that when it comes to Napoli and Munich.
But this must also have something to do with Turkish culture and ours (Korea) that has many similarities.

So maybe he will listen to his heart and make some salary cuts and return to Fenerbahce Istanbul.
I still remember his match against Galatasaray that was shown live here in Korea and also the "Squid Game" choreography that fans from Galatasaray put on before kickoff

I don't know this team but their stats were quite good until I noticed that they failed to promote although finishing in the third place. In the promotion playoffs they didn't do well and I found the reason why this happened.

The newly promoted teams will technically be the most likely ones to relegate back to the 2nd league for now. But we will see if some of them manage to hold on for another year.

The teams that were promoted to Super Lig are Erzurumspor FK, Amed SFK, and Çorum FK. I don't know if any one is familiar with these teams because I am sharing the same impression with you that they will be the favourite teams to get back from where they come.

It will be a good thing to see Kim min Jae back to Fenerbache but i don’t think the fans will accept him as the way they make him feel at home before, he left the club and went to different leagues but unfortunately he didn’t have a good time playing the way he want, he was one of the best players in the world at Napoli and he decided to leave and join Bayern Munich and at the end the coach did not believe in him and he was not a starter for Bayern Munich.

Although sometimes he started some games but big games as Upamecano and Tah are always ahead of him, going back to Fenerbache will be a good move because Fenerbache need a good defense and he might get back to his form if he go to Fenerbache because he will be a starter, the only problem is that the fans of the club because some fans never forget when a player they love leaves a club when they need him.

This situation is common in football and it does not really matter most times because sometimes when the fans start enjoying his play style once again, they will forget his offences and tend to move on. What fans need is results and that is what they use to judge both managers and players alike. There are players that best fit into some teams and or there are some players that best survive under a particular manager. This is true and there are players that have been that way. Someone like Antoine Griezman has repeatedly moved out of Athletico Madrid but couldn't succeed in any other team including Barcelona and had to return to Athletico Madrid. This should not be a yardstick to measure those players because every player like to explore new opportunities.

If Fenerbahce refuses to welcome him, his former Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti is already showing interest in bringing him to Juventus and even teams like Tottenham Hotspur. Bayern Munich can not favour him when it comes to playtime because he doesn't really match with his replacements in the team like Upamecano. He will get a good deal hopefully since I think Bayern is likely considering a €25 million deal which I feel won't be too much to pay for any interested team.

In the match themed around *Squid Game*, Galatasaray lost to Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe had responded verbally to that choreography. Anyway, this sort of choreography is popular in our country.
I think Kim Min Jae would like to return. Fenerbahçe is, in a way, where he made his name, and I think he feels a sense of loyalty to the club. If we can agree on the salary, he’ll most likely even join the squad

[Jossque]

It appears that the presidential candidates at Fenerbahçe have already begun their transfer activities. Of course, the election of the president will give us a clearer idea of the direction the transfer policy will take. Both presidential candidates have, quite frankly, managed to make a difference with the names they have announced, aiming to start the new season on a strong note. We can even say that the signing of Mohammed Salah is currently a significant transfer for Fenerbahçe.

I see, I was very impressed by the choreography
Regarding the derby it was only on TV but I could feel the fantastic atmosphere.
Of course everybody at Fenerbahce was fantastic in this derby that they won 2-1.
If I'm not wrong, it was also Min-jae's personal best match for Fenerbahce.
I really hope he rejoins Fenerbahce and I will have more reason to take my family with me and attend a derby against Galatasaray

I hope you can make this happen, but from what I’ve seen on social media, Kim Min Jae has asked for a really high salary. There’s talk of a transfer fee in the range of 25 million euros. As for his salary, I believe he’s asking for 12 million euros, and Fenerbahçe isn’t in a position to pay that kind of salary right now. If he feels indebted to Fenerbahçe and Turkey, he needs to accept at least a 50% pay cut so that Fenerbahçe can sign him without hesitation. Otherwise, to be honest, I don’t think we can afford to bring him into our squad at these prices.

[blomen]

min-jae was a loved player among the fenerbahçe fans i know. even a galatasaray fan could like him because he’s a quality player who does what he’s supposed to do, and he never got into any trouble off the field. players who simply do their job well are always liked, while those who aren’t liked are usually remembered for incidents that have nothing to do with soccer.

i’m not sure if he’ll return to turkey, because from what i’ve read, while he was earning 9 million euros a year at bayern munich, fenerbahçe was asked to pay 12 million euros annually for him to join. when you factor in the transfer fee, it might end up being a bit too expensive for fenerbahçe.

[jaberwock]

Teams getting their "older" players back is very bad move for them here. What they should be looking for should be players who are 23-24 years old or under, and then play them, and hope to sell them for 2x if they can do that. Sometimes you fail, sometimes you get someone and they turn out to be terrible, which is of course sad.

But if you had let's say 11 players who are all 24 years old or under, and then play them all (and bench too) then you could have few that could pay for everyone else. If you just get your players back after they get worse, and not wanted by the bigger clubs, or generally get 30+ year old players, then you are going to financially not be good, but also getting an aging star who will be doing not that get.

Beşiktaş was going after a young and successful manager like Filipe Luis. However their dream won't come true because he has just agreed terms with Monaco. He did a really great work in Brazil so far.

From this I just understand that Beşiktaş is prioritizing foreign managers currently. If they can find another good name like Filipe Luis then I would say they should go for it. Having a name who knows modern football well is really valuable these days.
