Fenerbahce have identified five European leagues they may look to join if they withdraw from the Turkish Super Lig.
Ugly scenes occurred after their late 3-2 win against Trabzonspor as missiles thrown from the stands hit several players including Edin Dzeko, Dusan Tadic and goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.
Livkavoic was even left bleeding after a coin hit him on the chin.
After the game Trabzonspor fans then invaded the pitch and began to attack the Fenerbahce players. Nigeria international Bright Osayi-Samuel and Dutch full-back Jayden Oosterwolde fought back, with Osayi-Samuel even bringing a fan to the ground and punching him.
Michy Batshuayi also unleashed a spinning kick on a supporter in scenes that followed just months after Turkish club president ran onto the pitch and attacked a referee.
In response to the recent spate of violence, Fenerbahce have warned the league that they may walk away if things don’t improve, with the decision motivated by alleged historical “unfair treatment’ by the Turkish authorities and government.”
if they were to withdraw from the Turkish top flight there is a chance that they would have to forfeit their remaining matches and would be relegated to the second division but they have another plan.
According to Turkish journalist Ertem Sener, Fenerbahce are considering the domestic leagues of Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, France and Italy as options if they do leave.
Fenerbahce are currently second in the table, eight points behind rivals Galatasary.
