Galatasaray, which is 1 point away from the championship in the Süper Lig, has rolled up its sleeves to build a squad that will compete in the Champions League next season.
THEY PRESSED THE BUTTON FOR TWO NAMES
The yellow-red team has set its sights on two world-famous center-backs who have announced they will leave their teams for reinforcements in defense. President Dursun Özbek has also written down the name of a player that Ali Koç previously wanted to sign for Fenerbahçe but could not reach an agreement with, as the number one on the transfer list.
Aymeric Laporte, who Fenerbahçe previously wanted but could not acquire, is leaving his team. Galatasaray has started negotiations for the Spanish center-back, with the French team Marseille also having advanced discussions. The 30-year-old player has one more year left on his contract with his club.
The other center-back candidate on the radar of the yellow-reds is Jonathan Tah. It is claimed that Tah, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, is also on the list of giants like Real Madrid and Manchester United. The fact that the German player's contract with his club will expire at the end of this season has brought his name to the forefront. According to a report from Yeni Asır, close contact is ongoing regarding the two players.
