Turkish giants Fenerbahce have made a formal move to sign Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey, submitting a loan offer that includes an option to buy, GHANAsoccernet.com understands.
The Yellow Canaries are keen to bolster their attacking options in the second half of the season and have identified Brobbey as a key target.
Sources close to the deal indicate that Fenerbahce have already reached a personal agreement with the player, but the proposed transfer is currently dependent on the Istanbul-based club offloading one of their foreign players to free up a non-Turkish slot in their squad.
The Dutch-born Ghanaian, 24, joined Sunderland in September 2025 and remains under contract at the Stadium of Light until June 2029.
The Netherlands international has enjoyed a mixed debut season in the Premier League, registering five goals and one assist in 19 league appearances as the Black Cats battle to stabilise their top-flight status.
The Turkish club are reportedly pushing to finalise the deal before the close of the transfer window, as they continue their pursuit of domestic silverware and a deep run in Europe.
Brobbey has earned eight senior caps for the Netherlands, scoring once for the Oranje, and remains highly regarded despite an inconsistent run of form in England.
Sunderland, for their part, are understood to be weighing the sporting and financial implications of allowing the striker to leave midway through the season.
Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming days as Fenerbahce work to resolve their squad situation, with all parties hopeful that a breakthrough can be reached.
