Fenerbahce has set its sights on Lithuanian guard Rokas Jokubaitis as one of the prime targets in the current transfer window, according to reports from Israel Hayom.
Fenerbahce is closely monitoring the player’s situation, which could lead to a potential departure from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
While Rokas Jokubaitis is currently under contract with the Israeli club, recent geopolitical developments in the region may influence his decision to seek an early termination. The latest escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran has seen Tel Aviv come under direct attack, with several rockets reportedly striking the city in recent days.

Among the damaged properties during the strikes was the residence of Hapoel Tel Aviv head coach Dimitris Itoudis, underscoring the severity of the current security situation. These events have naturally raised concerns among foreign players, including Rokas Jokubaitis, and could play a decisive role in his next career move.
Jokubaitis has a well-established working relationship with current Fenerbahce head coach. The two previously collaborated successfully at Zalgiris and later atBarcelona, where Jasikevicius helped shape the guard into one of Europe’s most promising talents.
With Fenerbahce keen to bolster its backcourt options ahead of the next EuroLeague campaign, Jokubaitis’ potential availability has become a storyline to watch in the summer market. If the situation in Israel continues to deteriorate, a reunion with Jasikevicius in Istanbul could become a realistic outcome.
