Galatasaray, who wants to strengthen their squad before the new season, has accelerated their attempts for Turkish international Can Uzun, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt. While it is stated that head coach Okan Buruk strongly desires the transfer, the yellow-red management has also directly become involved in the process.
Galatasaray, who achieved their 4th consecutive and 26th overall championship in the Süper Lig, aims for greater success both in the league and in Europe in the new season. The yellow-reds, continuing their efforts in this direction, have taken action for Can Uzun, who is at the top of their transfer list.
OKAN BURUK'S CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE MANAGEMENT
According to reports in the German press, Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk places great importance on the transfer of Can Uzun, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt. It was stated that the experienced coach told the management to be patient during the process and sees the young player's addition to the squad as one of the priority goals.
CAN UZUN LOOKS FAVORABLY ON GALATASARAY
The report indicated that the national player also has a positive outlook on transferring to Galatasaray. However, it was noted that the young player plans to make his final decision regarding his career after the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, it was reported that among the clubs closely following Can Uzun are Napoli and Milan from Italy, as well as some Premier League teams.
TRANSFER FEE OBSTACLE ON THE TABLE
It was stated that the most significant hurdle in the transfer negotiations is the transfer fee. While Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly demanding around 60 million euros for the young star, it was mentioned that Galatasaray has started negotiations at the level of 35 million euros.
DURSUN ÖZBEK ALSO GETS INVOLVED
Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek is expected to directly engage in the transfer process and take an active role in the negotiations. The yellow-red management aims to invest both in the present and the future by adding Can Uzun, who is considered among the promising names of European football, to the squad.
While Galatasaray is expected to intensify contacts with Eintracht Frankfurt in the coming weeks, it is anticipated that the final decision determining the fate of the transfer will be made by Can Uzun after the World Cup.
