Bombastic news from Turkey: Fenerbahce boss wants to take over FC Vardar ?!

Ali Koç weighs more than a billion euros, and his family is among the richest in Turkey. Koch is the first man of the football club Fenerbahce for a long time, and according to the news from Turkey, he is interested in buying the most trophy club in Macedonia.

As things stand now, Vardar has the best chances, which is in financial trouble, and last season it was relegated to the Second Macedonian League.

Turkish media say that the idea is for Vardar to become Fener's "pilot club". This means that all players who would not play for the trophy club from Istanbul, would end up tempted in Skopje.

This news comes as a complete surprise because a few days ago the news was published that Slobodan Krstevski is the new owner of Vardar, but now everything could change.

In case Koch buys Vardar, this club would surely return to the game for trophies in Macedonian football very soon, so it would be interesting to see how Koch would behave in that case, because UEFA does not allow two clubs with the same owner to compete in Europe.

Otherwise, Vardar four years ago achieved the greatest success in the history of the club through Fenerbahce, when the "red and blacks" on the last hurdle with two victories eliminated the Turkish giant in the qualifying round for the Europa League and placed in the group stage.
