Galatasaray, which has begun planning its squad for the new season, has made the number 10 position one of the key items on its transfer agenda. It is reported that the yellow-reds are evaluating both foreign and domestic alternatives for this position in line with the report provided by head coach Okan Buruk.
According to claims, Bernardo Silva stands out on Galatasaray's list as a foreign player, while Can Uzun, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, is the frontrunner among domestic candidates. Following the departure of Dries Mertens, the search for a permanent solution continues despite trying different players in this position.
FRANKFURT'S EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH
It has been reported that the German club Frankfurt has set an initial asking price of 50 million euros for Can Uzun, and that the player's contract includes a 60 million euro release clause. It is stated that Italian and English clubs are also closely monitoring the situation of the 20-year-old footballer.
On the Galatasaray side, it is suggested that they could increase their offer to the 35 million euro level, and that they will attempt to lower Frankfurt's demand through sell-on clauses and bonus incentives. It was noted that the yellow-reds see it as difficult for the process to be concluded before the 2026 World Cup.
Can Uzun, who is said to be admired by Okan Buruk, played in 28 matches across all competitions for Frankfurt last season. The young player, who logged 1,513 minutes of playing time, contributed 10 goals and 6 assists.
Can Uzun's current market value is listed at 45 million euros, and his contract with Frankfurt runs until 2029. It is stated that Galatasaray plans to make a creative addition to its attacking line in line with its Champions League goals.
