Enes "Rhilech" Uçan is here to stay. Despite Fnatic's interest, who contacted Natus Vincere for a potential trade between their junglers, the Ukrainian organization declined the proposal, sources tell Sheep Esports. Rhilech will indeed be NAVI's jungler in 2026.

As previously reported by Sheep Esports, Fnatic is looking to part ways with its jungler Iván "Razork" Martín Díaz in order to recruit a new one for the next season. But NAVI was not open to discussions and prefers to give Rhilech his chance as agreed from the beginning.

Unwavering trust

Natus Vincere had already found their jungler for 2026 for a while. Before the start of the last summer split, Sheep Esports had already reported that Rhilech had signed a contract until 2026 with the Ukrainian organization. And that was despite NAVI already signing Francisco "Thayger" Mazo for their summer split. A sign that the organization already trusted Rhilech for the long term.

After officially announcing on X a few weeks ago the signing of Rhilech, NAVI continues its transfer window by exploring options for other roles such as midlane, support, or toplane where players are not guarantyd to stay or are at the end of their contracts.

On the other hand, Fnatic, who have just been eliminated from Worlds with a rather disappointing performance, are looking to rebuild their team. This reconstruction could involve changes in several roles, particularly in the support position where Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle's departure has already been confirmed, but also in the toplane or jungle where Fnatic is exploring alternatives to Razork and Óscar "Oscarinin" Muñoz.

Fnatic then contacted several teams to sell Razork in exchange for compensation. Among these teams, there was NAVI, who chose to decline this proposal, not wanting to jeopardize their new project, of which Rhilech is a part. An interesting decision by the team, who prefer to keep their Turkish rookie in whom they see more potential.
