Stuttgart linked with Fenerbahce and Guinea striker Sidiki Cherif

Guinean striker Sidiki Cherif is the subject of a reported move from Fenerbahce to Stuttgart, with the Bundesliga club linked with a transfer for the 19-year-old centre-forward.

Cherif joined Fenerbahce permanently from Angers SCO on 1 July 2026 for €18m, following a loan spell at the Turkish club during the second half of the 2025-26 season. He signed a contract running until 30 June 2030.

The forward has made one appearance for Fenerbahce in Champions League qualifying this season, featuring from the bench. His current market value is listed at €18m, matching the fee paid by the Super Lig club for his permanent move.

Cherif developed through Angers’ youth system after joining from local club Ol. Saumur as a teenager. He progressed to Angers’ senior set-up in 2023 before moving to Fenerbahce on loan in February 2026, with the Turkish side paying a €4m loan fee.

The Stuttgart link comes shortly after Fenerbahce completed the permanent transfer, but the move remains a rumour and there is no indication in the available information that an agreement has been reached between the clubs.

Cherif, who was born in Dubreka and stands 1.88m tall, remains a Fenerbahce player under contract through June 2030.
