Aiming for its fifth consecutive championship in the new season, Galatasaray had only completed the transfer of Lesley Ugochukwu as of August 6. The yellow-reds reached their lowest number of transfers in the same periods of the last seven seasons, and the fans have begun to show reaction to the management.
The silence during the transfer window draws attention at Galatasaray, who won their fourth consecutive championship in the Süper Lig. The yellow-red team has only added Lesley Ugochukwu to its squad as of August 6, while parting ways with Noa Lang, Asprilla, Sacha Boey, Ahmed Kutucu, and Mauro Icardi.
LOWEST NUMBER OF TRANSFERS IN THE LAST 7 SEASONS
With this performance, Galatasaray is experiencing its period with the fewest transfers in the same date range since the 2020-21 season. The number of transfers made by the yellow-reds as of August 6 is as follows:
- 2026-27: 1
- 2025-26: 2
- 2024-25: 4
- 2023-24: 6
- 2022-23: 5
- 2021-22: 8
- 2020-21: 1
Galatasaray is also currently the team that has made the fewest transfers in the Süper Lig so far.
FANS REACTED
The stagnation in transfer efforts has also drawn reactions from the yellow-red fans. During the friendly match against Rennes, chants of "Where are the transfers, president?" rose from the stands, while criticisms directed at President Dursun Özbek and the management also stood out on social media.
It is stated that if the management does not announce new transfers soon, the fan reaction could increase even more during the friendly match against Villarreal on Saturday.
