Galatasaray's first transfer of 2026 has been announced

Transfer activity continues at Galatasaray . According to a report by manager Okan Buruk, an operation will be launched to acquire the star player from the global giants.

KAAN AYHAN MOBILIZATION

Galatasaray , who will face Eyüpspor away on Saturday in the Süper Lig, has declared a mobilization plan for Kaan Ayhan. He missed the national team's Spain trial due to a groin injury, and an intensive treatment program has been initiated. Okan Buruk is eager to see the experienced player in his squad for the match against Eyüpspor.

JET GOES TO OSIMHEN

Galatasaray stepped in to replace Victor Osimhen, who was injured in the African World Cup qualifiers between Nigeria and Rwanda. The Yellow-Reds sent a private jet to bring the star striker to Istanbul.

THERE IS A BRUISING

Osimhen, who started the Rwanda match in the first 11, had to leave the game after suffering an injury in the first half.

Nigeria's coach, Eric Chelle, said after the match, "Osimhen felt pain in his ankle. We will check his condition tomorrow."

The star striker, who is said to have a bruise in an area close to his shinbone, also continues to have pain in his ankle.

He will undergo an MRI.

The Nigerian national team's medical team decided that Osimhen would not play against South Africa, prompting Galatasaray management to bring him to Istanbul.

The 26-year-old football player is expected to come to Istanbul and undergo an MRI.

He could play in Germany

It appears unlikely that Osimhen will be available for Saturday's Süper Lig match against Eyüpspor. However, if his medical results are positive, he will reportedly be available for the Frankfurt match.

Galatasaray is expected to make a detailed statement about the situation of its star player.

A 75 MILLION EURO LETTER TO OKAN BURUK

A remarkable statement came from the Portuguese team regarding Diogo Costa, who was on Galatasaray 's transfer agenda but his transfer did not take place.

45 MILLION EURO DEMAND

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk recently stated that Porto had requested €45 million for the national team's goalkeeper. This statement was widely reported in the Portuguese press.

"HE'S TARNISHING HIS NAME"

According to A Bola, Porto denied Okan Buruk's claims. The Portuguese representative sent an official letter to Galatasaray , emphasizing that Diogo Costa's release clause is €75 million.

The club's letter stated that Buruk's statements were false and misleading, and that they tarnished the reputation of both Diogo Costa and the Porto board.

SINGLE PRICE 75 MILLION EUROS

Porto reiterated that the club's official position regarding the goalkeeper's transfer is only the €75 million fee in his release clause.

NEOM CONTINUES TO INSIST

While uncertainty surrounding Barış Alper Yılmaz continues at Galatasaray , a noteworthy development has emerged. It has been reported that NEOM SC will continue to insist on the star player's transfer.

Tension will rise

The transfer window in Saudi Arabia, which begins on January 1st, is seen as a harbinger of another major problem for Galatasaray . NEOM SC's continued insistence on Turkish national player Barış Alper Yılmaz, in particular, is escalating tensions within the Yellow-Red community.

THEY WILL KNOCK ON THE DOOR AGAIN

The Saudi club is preparing a new offer for the player in the new transfer window and will knock on Galatasaray 's door again.

Last month, NEOM SC submitted a €30 million + €5 million offer to Galatasaray for 25-year-old Barış Alper Yılmaz. However, Galatasaray management rejected the offer, demanding €60 million for the player. It was also reported that the Saudi club offered the international a salary of €12 million annually.

PROBLEMS HAPPENED

Barış Alper was confused by the high salary offer, and during this period, he was left out of Galatasaray 's squad, causing internal problems. The national team player was not included in the squad after posting a black screen. Galatasaray will be closely monitoring developments regarding the player's future in the coming days.

OTTO ROSENGREN IS ON THE LIST

Galatasaray , which bolstered its squad with key stars during the transfer window, has launched a move to acquire a young talent. The Yellow-Reds are reportedly making inroads into signing 22-year-old Swedish midfielder Otto Rosengren, who performed impressively for Malmö last season.

YOUNG MAN WITH POTENTIAL NEXT TO THE STARS

Galatasaray , which added Leroy Sane, Victor Osimhen, Wilfried Singo, İlkay Gündoğan and Uğurcan Çakır to its squad during the transfer window, plans to expand its rotation in order not to overload its players during the league, European and cup marathon.

THERE IS A QUOTA VACANCY

The yellow-reds, who have one vacancy in their foreign quota and also one right in their under-23 quota, are looking to add a new name, especially in the central midfield.

AN OFFER WILL BE MADE

According to Transferfeed, Galatasaray has made a move for Otto Rosengren, whom the scouting team has been monitoring for a long time. The club is reportedly preparing to make an offer of up to €4 million, including bonuses, to Malmö.

4-GOAL CONTRIBUTION

Rosengren, who also played in the UEFA Europa League match against Galatasaray last season, made a name for himself with his remarkable performance.

This season, he has scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists in 8 appearances for Malmö in both the Europa League and Champions League qualifiers. Last season, he scored 2 goals and provided 6 assists in 20 Swedish League appearances.

VALUE: 2.5 MILLION EUROS

The young football player played once for the Swedish National Team and in 12 matches for the U21 team, scoring 3 goals.

Rosengren, whose contract with Malmö runs until December 31, 2027, has a market value of 2.5 million euros, according to Transfermarkt data.

HAKAN ÇALHANOĞLU IN 2026!

A new development is unfolding for Hakan Çalhanoğlu, one of the most talked-about names of the Galatasaray transfer window. The Yellow-Reds are preparing to try a different strategy to bring the 31-year-old international into the patchwork jersey.

COULDN'T BREAK INTER'S RESISTANCE

Galatasaray , despite putting in a lot of effort during the transfer window, was unable to achieve results due to Inter's high demands. Efforts were made even before the UEFA list was submitted, but the Italian side refused to let go of their star midfielder.

According to Sabah newspaper's report, the yellow-red administration is now planning to wait until 2026.

He will play his last card

The international star, who earns a net of €6.5 million at Inter, has no plans to extend his remaining one-and-a-half-year contract. It's being suggested that Çalhanoğlu will make his final push to join Galatasaray during the mid-season break.

The experienced football player, who is ready to make financial sacrifices to transfer to Galatasaray, will try to reduce the transfer fee to the level of 10 million euros.

Italians Rejected

Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk, referring to the attempts made for Hakan’s transfer last summer, said, “There was another attempt last week, Hakan made a sacrifice, but Inter didn’t want to let him go.”

His contract ends in 2027

Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who played in two Champions League finals and won one Serie A title with Inter, is trying to persuade his childhood love, Galatasaray , to join him. The international star, who transferred from AC Milan to Inter in the summer of 2021, has a contract that expires in 2027.
