As BasketNews reported on Tuesday, the deal includes an exit clause allowing both sides to opt out of the deal until January.
Marjanovic last played for the Houston Rockets last season, averaging 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in 14 contests.
"We want Boban to be Boban," Fenerbahce's head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius said on Tuesday when asked about the rumors about the signing.
The veteran big man made his name in the EuroLeague a decade ago playing for Crvena Zvezda. He averaged an impressive 16.6 points and 10.7 rebounds for 25.7 PIR in the EuroLeague during the 2014-15 season.
Marjanovic joins another now-former NBA player, Khem Birch, in the lineup.
