Coventry City should consider signing 28-year-old free agent
After mutually terminating his contract with Fenerbahce just 16 months into a four-year deal, former Coventry City loanee Ryan Kent is once again available for transfer.
Looking to get his career back on trackm a move for the 28-year-old could be a something to strongly think about for the Sky Blues, who are also looking to reignite their campaign.
Kent’s contract was terminated after repeated ostracisation from managers Ismail Kartal and Jose Mourinho.
The winger fell out with Kartal and was forced to train alone, but his struggles continued under Mourinho, and so the club felt it best to part ways with the former Liverpool man less than two years into his contract.
Now seeking a new challenge, a move to a rudderless Coventry side could be a great move for both parties.
Ryan Kent was excluded at Fenerbachce
Despite signing a four-year deal, Ryan Kent’s time at Turkish side Fenerbahce could not have gone much worse.
After scoring on his European debut for the club against Zimbru Chisinau in the Conference League, Kent was quickly frozen out of the first team and saw his playing time greatly limited.
Manager Ismail Kartal decided against using the winger, and a reported dispute between manager and player resulted in the winger being forced to train alone.
Sadly for Kent, it was more of the same after Kartal’s departure in May 2024, as he was cut out of the squad by Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was also infuriated by the former Coventry man, as he reportedly turned down multiple offers in the summer to stay with Fenerbahce and see out his contract. However, after spending over a season with the club, the Englishman had made only 19 appearances, and the club subsequently terminated his contract by mutual consent.
Kent had allegedly been preparing to take the Turkish club to court over his treatment, but agreed to mutual termination and is now a free agent. A return to former suitors Coventry could be the revival which the wide man’s career deeply needs.
