Fenerbahce Presidential candidate Hakan Safi was spotted at the Milan headquarters today for a meeting to discuss transfer strategy, claim Turkish reports.

It is by no means certain that Safi will be elected as the President of the Turkish club, but his presence in Italy does suggest he feels a big move could push him over the top of other candidates.

According to Turkish transfer pundit Yagiz Sabuncuoglu the meeting was to cover transfer market topics with the Rossoneri directors.

There was a staff meeting today called by CEO Giorgio Furlani, including director of sport Igli Tare and Special Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so they were all present at Casa Milan.

It is also reported that Hakan Safi was in the stands at San Siro on Sunday evening for the 3-2 Serie A defeat to Atalanta.

The players he could be watching include Christopher Nkunku, but the suggestion Fenerbahce are asking after Rafael Leao seem a little unlikely considering the €70m asking price.
