According to Fenerbahce official social media of the Turkey Super League, Fenerbahce has terminated his contract with former Liverpool hopeful Kent! There was not even a polite word in the termination statement, because Kent's behavior angered Mourinho and Fenerbahce, and the two sides were already in the stage of tearing each other.
The 27-year-old was a promising star in Liverpool's academy, but it was difficult to secure a starting XI until 2019 because he was not up to Liverpool's requirements, and Kent opted to join Steven Gerrard's Rangers in 2019 in order to play more. Kent has been in excellent form during his time with Rangers, becoming the heart of Rangers' attack and helping them reach the Europa League final in 2022.
Kent's excellent performance naturally wanted to play at a higher level, so he joined Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, but his performance was very bad after coming to the Turkish Super League, making 19 appearances for Fenerbahce, contributing only 1 goal and 2 assists. Fenerbahce had already negotiated a loan deal with Lazio, but Kent insisted on staying at Fenerbahce to prove himself, which angered Fenerbahce's executives and was dropped from the first team by Fenerbahce ever since.
Later, when Mourinho coached Fenerbahce, he also gave Kent the opportunity to show himself, and gave him a chance to start in the Champions League qualifiers, but the performance of that start was not satisfactory and was not recognized by Muño, so Mourinho also gave up the use of Kent this summer. Now that both the executives and the manager have abandoned him, Fenerbahce once again wants to trade Kent to vacate a foreign player spot, but such an offer was rejected by Kent, which directly angered Fenerbahce executives and Mourinho, resulting in the failure of an important recruitment for Fenerbahce.
At this point, Fenerbahce executives also wanted to trade Kent with a tough attitude, but Kent refused, and Kent also said that unless Fenerbahce paid all the wages and termination money for the season, there would be no talks, which led to irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides. In the end, Fenerbahce issued an announcement to dismiss Kent, as for how the termination agreement was reached, the two sides did not announce it, it is very likely that Fenerbahce will directly pay all the salary of this season, otherwise it is impossible for Kent to agree to terminate the contract when the transfer window is closed.
