According to a Turkish reporter, Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Mourinho and Son have met in person to discuss a potential move to Istanbul. Their conversation is a significant development in Son's decision-making process about his future at Tottenham.

Mourinho and Son worked together at Tottenham for 18 months. During that time, Mourinho appointed Son as the team's captain, and he performed exceptionally well, scoring 22 league goals in 51 appearances. He even won the prestigious Puskas Award.

Fenerbahce is willing to spend £25 million to convince Tottenham to let Son join the team this summer.
