It has been claimed that Ömer Ali Şahiner's potential move to Galatasaray, who are continuing their transfer efforts for a domestic right-back and midfielder, was blocked by head coach Okan Buruk's veto.
According to a report by Hürriyet newspaper, the financial terms for the transfer of Ömer Ali, who was the primary target for the right-back position, were inquired about with Rams Başakşehir. However, negotiations were terminated after Okan Buruk did not want the experienced player.
It has been learned that the yellow-reds are in contact with several other domestic right-backs currently playing in the Süper Lig.
In the search for a domestic midfielder, Berkay Özcan, also from Rams Başakşehir, remains the top priority. A transfer involving a swap deal plus a sum of money is being considered for the 25-year-old player.
Galatasaray's other alternative is Okay Yokuşlu, who plays for West Bromwich Albion. The 29-year-old player, who is among the key figures for the English side, has a market value of 3 million Euros. Having played 41 matches and scored 4 goals last season, Okay has started in the first 11 in all 6 matches this season.
