The Istanbul giants face the possibility of not booking a place in the Champions League this season.
Fenerbahce could actually drop out of contention for the Europa League as well unless head coach Dick Advocaat starts to turn things around.
The Canaries are currently 4th in the league, nine points behind leaders Besiktas – who have a game in hand – with Antalyaspor and Trabzonspor breathing behind their neck in 5th and 6th spot, respectively.
A source close to the player recently revealed to Turkish-Football.com that the Blues have been keeping tabs on Kjaer all season and that Fenerbahce value the defender as being worth €15 million.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on the 27-year-old defender who has years of experience playing Serie A, Ligue 1 and Turkish Super Lig football.
Fenerbahce rejected all offers and turned away enquiries for Kjaer over the winter transfer window and last summer.
Kjaer has attracted widespread interest and has been one of Fenerbahce’s most in-form players this season.
The Denmark international was picked in the UEFA Europa League team of the group stages.
Fenerbahce finished Group A in first place, ahead of Manchester United and Feyenoord before crashing out at the Round of 32 stage against Russian minnows Krasnador.
