Söyüncü also spoke with Atletico Madrid, noting that he joined on a free transfer and requested leniency regarding his transfer fee to continue his career at Fenerbahçe.

Initially firm at €12 million, Atletico Madrid ultimately agreed to transfer Söyüncü to Fenerbahçe for nearly €10 million, including bonuses. After passing his medical examination, the national player signed officially and joined the team.
Last season, during the second half, Söyüncü played 16 matches for Fenerbahçe, scoring two goals.
