While Galatasaray continues its work for the winter transfer period, it has included two more names from the Italian Serie A on its agenda. Two new football players were added to the target list of Galatasaray managers, who had previously gone to Italy for Youssouf Fofana from Milan, Teun Koopmeiners from Juventus and Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. It has been claimed that the yellow-reds have put 27-year-old British center forward Keinan Davis, who plays for Udinese, on the transfer list, and are also looking for Brazilian midfielder Éderson, who plays for Atalanta.

According to the news of Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Galatasaray management went to Milan within the scope of transfer negotiations. It was stated that the club’s Deputy President Abdullah Kavukcu and Sports Director Uğur Yıldız reached Milan and made contacts for many players there. In the news, it was reported that Galatasaray was among the names they wanted to bring to Türkiye, Keinan Davis, who plays for Udinese. It has been stated that no official offer has been made so far for the English football player, who has become one of the indispensable players of coach Kosta Runjaic. It was noted that Galatasaray is closely following Keinan Davis, along with names such as Davide Frattesi, Ademola Lookman and Youssouf Fofana.

Italian football player Nicolò Zaniolo, whose transfer fee is in Galatasaray, is playing on loan in Udinese. The possibility of an exchange or Zaniolo’s transfer may come to the fore in possible negotiations for the transfer of Keinan Davis. Zaniolo’s contract, which has recently undergone surgery and is expected to be away from the field until February, includes a 10 million euro purchase option for Udinese or, alternatively, a 5 million euro transfer fee and a 50 percent share of the player’s future sales.
Keinan Davis, whose market value is approximately 4 million euros, scored 6 goals and 3 assists in 21 matches in all competitions this season. The English centre-forward, whose contract runs until 2027, has previously played in Championship and Premier League teams in his career. Davis can play both as a center forward and behind a striker.

The market value of Éderson, who plays for Atalanta, is 40 million euros. The Brazilian football player, whose contract lasts until 2027, can play in both central midfield and defensive midfield positions. The transfer of Éderson, who contributed 2 scores in 21 matches this season, is expected to be difficult as Atalanta continues its way in the Champions League.
