Super League Transfer: Star Arrives in Istanbul

The new owner of the first place on the transfer list of Galatasaray, which is looking for a younger and tougher Lemina in the midfield, has emerged. It was learned that the first name the Yellow-Red club tried to add to its squad, upon the request of coach Okan Buruk, was Pape Gueye. The management opened its pockets for the 26-year-old front libero with a market value of 20 million Euros.

According to Fanatik’s news, Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. Deputy President Abdullah Kavukcu will go to Spain and sit at the table with Villerreal. Galatasaray wants to transfer Gueye along with his transfer fee.

30 MILLION EURO BUDGET

The Senegalese football player is currently competing in the African Cup. The 1.89-tall left-handed midfielder also played for Sevilla, Marseille and Le Havre before playing for Villerreal. It was reported that Gueye, who has a contract with the Spanish club until the summer of 2028, accepted all the conditions of Galatasaray in the meetings held through his representative and is waiting for the clubs to reach an agreement. The Yellow-Reds will try to complete this transfer for a maximum of 30 million Euros.

GUEYE’S ALTERNATIVE HAS ALSO BEEN ANNOUNCED

The Yellow-Reds, who are sitting at the transfer table with very important numbers 6, especially Pape Gueye, take into account any negative possibilities that may arise. While Abdullah Kavukcu is focusing on the transfer of Gueye, on the other hand, he is also turning to alternative names on the list, considering the possible conflict over the transfer fee. It was learned that one of them was Denis Zakaria. The 1.90-meter forward libero, who showed great resistance in the match he played against Galatasaray for Monaco, is another target in the transfer.

CONDITIONS WILL BE COMPARED

There will be some negotiations with Monaco for the 29-year-old Swiss midfielder, who has a market value of 25 million Euros. If Zakaria’s conditions are found to be better than Pape Gueye, the Yellow-Reds aim to focus on this transfer. Before Monaco, Zakaria also played for giants such as Juventus and Chelsea.
