New season transfer activity at Galatasaray

Galatasaray continues its preparations for the new season's transfer planning. In the latest meeting held by President Dursun Özbek and head coach Okan Buruk, the positions deemed lacking in the squad and potential transfers were discussed in detail.

Okan Buruk and the management have initially focused on whether Mauro Icardi will remain with the team. It has been learned that Galatasaray, which will shape its attacking reinforcement policy based on the response from the Argentine star, has given Icardi a 10-day period to make his decision.

On the other hand, the club is also open to the transfer of young and promising players. The age of Jhon Duran, who was suggested by agents, and his suitability for the “plus 4” rule have caught the management's interest. The name Duran remains on the table, especially for the forward line. The yellow-reds are seriously considering adding the young Colombian to their squad.

In the search for a creative number 10 who can bridge the gap between the midfield and the attack, Can Uzun is at the top of the list for Galatasaray. Both Okan Buruk and Dursun Özbek believe that the 21-year-old footballer will make a significant contribution to the team. However, Can Uzun's club, Frankfurt, is reluctant to part with the player, especially before the World Cup process concludes. For this reason, it is stated that the yellow-reds may extend the negotiation and waiting process.
