Galatasaray Targets Al-Ahli Midfielder
Galatasaray has intensified its pursuit of Al-Ahli midfielder Enzo Millot, targeting the 23-year-old French player to anchor the club’s number 10 position, according to reports from Foot Mercato and TransferFeed.
Okan Buruk Backs Offensive Addition
The Turkish Süper Lig giants accelerated their efforts following a formal squad assessment and recommendation from manager Okan Buruk.
According to club reports, Buruk has identified the midfielder as an ideal fit for the squad’s offensive structure, praising his technical capacity, on-field vision, and efficiency in the final third.
A Look at Millot’s Profile
Millot joined Al-Ahli in August 2025 on a contract running through June 2028. During the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season, the midfielder has recorded three goals and three assists across 24 appearances. His current market value is estimated at €25.00m by Transfermarkt, and he has earned four caps with one goal for the France U23 national team.
Sticking Points in Deal Structure
Negotiations between the two clubs face an immediate hurdle regarding the structure of a potential deal. Galatasaray’s initial strategy centers on acquiring Millot on an initial loan arrangement. However, officials in Saudi Arabia are currently unreceptive to a temporary departure, maintaining a strict preference for a permanent transfer.
Revised Proposals Under Preparation
Despite the initial resistance from Al-Ahli, Galatasaray management has maintained active contacts.
Club officials are reportedly preparing revised proposals designed to alter the deal’s framework, with formal talks expected to intensify in the coming days as both sides seek common ground.
