In the Super Lig, Galatasaray, which will declare its championship if it wins the match against Antalyaspor, is expected to part ways with 7 players at the end of the season.

Galatasaray, which continues its championship race in the Super League and has already started planning its squad for next season, has initiated a cleanup operation under head coach Okan Buruk and the management.

7 DEPARTURES AT GALATASARAY

Okan Buruk, aiming to build a more dynamic and versatile squad for the new season, decided to part ways with 7 players whose performances were deemed insufficient.

FIRST DEPARTURE: ICARDI

The first departure at Galatasaray will be with fan favorite Mauro Icardi. The Argentine star, whose contract is set to expire, is reportedly not included in the new season plans and will bid farewell to the team at the end of the season.

DOMESTIC PLAYERS ALSO TO BE PARTED WITH

It has been learned that Okan Buruk has made radical decisions not only for Icardi but also regarding the domestic rotation players. Accordingly, Kaan Ayhan, Ahmed Kutucu, and Günay Güvenç, who have not provided the expected contribution recently, will also be let go.

OTHER DEPARTURES

The other names on the departure list are reportedly Nicolo Zaniolo and Victor Nelsson, who have been playing on loan for other teams, as well as Yaser Asprilla, who was loaned from Girona during the mid-season transfer window.
