According to a report this weekend, Fenerbahçe is expected to sign footballers Volkan Demirel and Selçuk Şahin to new deals before the Galatasaray derby. The two will join stars Roberto Carlos, Alex de Souza, and Deivid de Souza as Canaries who have signed new contracts with the club this year. The report also states that administrators have not given up hope of inking defender Diego Lugano to a new deal as well.

Goalkeeper Volkan Demirel and midfielder/defender Selçuk Şahin are close to signing new deals with the club, according to a report this weekend. Turkish newspaper Hurriyet states that the club hopes to sign both sometime next week, preferably before the Galatasaray derby. Both Volkan and Selçuk reportedly had a number of European offers on the table, with Stuttgart and Deportivo both chasing Selçuk recently. Volkan was also believed to be the target of interest from English club Manchester City in recent months.

The report says the club has agreed on most terms with the footballers, with only details to be worked out before making it official. In addition to the two, Fenerbahçe administrators are still hoping to sign defender Diego Lugano. The club has an offer on the table for Lugano, but the Uruguayan star has remained mum on his future plans. A number of Italian clubs, including Juventus and Lazio, have expressed interest in the star, who also holds an Italian passport. Juan Figer, the agent for Lugano, has met with the club on numerous occasions, but he is expected to fly back to Istanbul soon to continue negotiations with the Canaries.
