While the transfer process continues at Galatasaray before the new season, the future of Colombian center-back Davinson Sanchez has begun to become clear. Head coach Okan Buruk has shown a determined stance regarding the successful defender, whom Italian club Como wants to add to their squad.

COMO'S OFFER TO SANCHEZ

Davinson Sanchez, who earns 4.8 million euros annually from Galatasaray, has been offered a guaranteed annual fee of 3.5 million euros by Italian side Como. Additionally, it has been learned that the Italian club has prepared an offer package that, including bonuses, exceeds a total of 30 million euros.

BURUK'S ULTIMATUM ON DEPARTURE

Following the transfer rumors, head coach Okan Buruk stated that he does not look favorably on the experienced center-back leaving the team. It is reported that the seasoned coach, who spoke with the Colombian player, said, "I need you, I don't want you to go anywhere. I will need you more than ever this season."

WILL NOT LEAVE UNLESS AN ASTRONOMICAL OFFER ARRIVES

In line with the technical team's report, the Galatasaray management has decided not to sell Davinson Sanchez unless an extraordinary and significantly higher offer comes from Como or any other club.
