After the crisis in Beşiktaş, Galatasaray's management has started to distance itself from Rafa Silva, who has been linked with the club. It has been learned that Galatasaray has vetoed the transfer of the Portuguese player and will not make any attempts to sign him. The fact that Silva has become an 'unwanted player' due to the crisis in Beşiktaş has completely eliminated the possibility of his transfer to Galatasaray.

With the crisis in Beşiktaş, the name of Rafa Silva, which has come back to the agenda, has once again started to be associated with Galatasaray. In the initial claims, the yellow-red management did not completely close the door to the possibility of a transfer, but after recent developments, they have started to distance themselves from the Portuguese player. Within the management, the prevailing view has become, "The problems he has faced are evident; we won't benefit from such a problematic player."

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı recently stated, "Galatasaray can only buy Rafa's jersey." However, the latest information from the yellow-red side indicates that Galatasaray would not even want Rafa Silva's jersey. It has been learned that Head Coach Okan Buruk has vetoed the transfer, and the club will not make any attempts for the Portuguese player.
