Galatasaray, which continues its transfer preparations ahead of the new season, has reportedly turned to a surprising name to strengthen its defensive line. It is claimed that the yellow-reds have added Yusuf Akçiçek, who once wore the Fenerbahçe jersey, to their transfer list.
Galatasaray, who won their fourth consecutive championship in the Süper Lig and 26th overall, has accelerated squad planning for the new season. It is reported that the red-yellow management wants to add a young and promising player to the defense line in line with the technical team's report.
YUSUF AKÇİÇEK ON THE AGENDA
According to reports in the Saudi Arabian press, Galatasaray has added Yusuf Akçiçek, who plays for Al Hilal, to their transfer list. The report also stated that Bologna, one of the Italian Serie A teams, is interested in the young defender.
HE MOVED FROM FENERBAHÇE TO AL HİLAL
The 20-year-old center-back transferred from Fenerbahçe to Al Hilal last summer for a transfer fee of 25 million euros. It was claimed that the young footballer, who effectively uses his left foot, is reassessing his future at the Saudi Arabian club and is open to a departure during the summer transfer window.
MARKET VALUE 14 MILLION EUROS
Yusuf Akçiçek, whose current market value is shown as 14 million euros, is expected to have his situation clarified in the coming days. It is stated that Galatasaray is closely monitoring the player's conditions and could take official steps depending on the opportunity that arises.
AFTER THE ETERNAL RIVAL, NOW GALATASARAY?
Yusuf Akçiçek, who wore the Fenerbahçe jersey after his youth career and drew attention with his performance in the yellow-navy team, is now being linked with Galatasaray. While it is a matter of curiosity whether the transfer will happen, developments are being closely followed by the football public.
