Midfield reinforcements have become the priority for Galatasaray in the summer transfer window. It is stated that head coach Okan Buruk wants two players for the number 6 and 10 positions in the yellow-red squad.
According to a report by TRT Spor, the Galatasaray management has allocated a total budget of 50 million euros for these two transfers. It is suggested that the club plans to move to a more active phase in negotiations starting from the second week of July.
One of the names on the agenda for the number 10 position is Can Uzun. The report claims that Galatasaray offered 25 million euros to Eintracht Frankfurt for the young player, but the German club is demanding at least 50 million euros for him.
It was noted that the player the yellow-reds are interested in for the number 6 position is Lesley Ugochukwu, who plays for Burnley. It was reported that Galatasaray submitted a loan offer including a conditional purchase option for the Nigerian-born French player, while the English club expects a transfer fee of 22 million euros.
How the negotiation process will proceed for the reinforcements Galatasaray will make to its midfield is among the most critical topics of the transfer window for the yellow-reds.
