Turks’ transfer offence: Three Germans, Hakan, Son, and that’s just the start

From this perspective, Victor Osimhen’s arrival in Istanbul to join Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last August was just the beginning, as the Turks have recently started a genuine transfer offence.While fighting to keep the Nigerian in their ranks permanently, Galatasaray signed the German international Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich. However, that seems to be just the first move, as Turkish sides have allegedly eyed several superstars playing in the European TOP 5 leagues.As the media from Turkey claim, Galatasaray went for none other than Barcelona’s custodian Marc-Andre ter Stegen! Even though the German rejected the initial offer, reportedly choosing to stay at Camp Nou and fight for his position in the XI, it’s clear that the negotiations and persuasions are far from over.🚨 Marc-Andre ter Stegen has REJECTED an offer from Galatasaray. He wants to continue his career at Barcelona.(Source: NTVSpor) pic.twitter.com/J5UBE8EAI5— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 16, 2025 And so is the list of Galatasaray’s potential additions.Namely, Barca’s keeper is only one of three Germans – excluding Sane, who’s already arrived – who could end up in Turkey! The second one is Ilkay Gundogan, who has been linked to Sane’s new team alongside another midfielder, Hakan Calhanoglu.Galatasaray are interested in Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, according to Sky in Germany 🚨 pic.twitter.com/WbDLqOznQW— Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) June 15, 2025 Despite representing Germany, Gundogan is of Turkish origins, so neither his move to the land of his ancestors nor Calhanoglu’s return home would be a surprise.Finally, the name that could (according to rumours) complete the German trio in Turkey is – Serge Gnabry!Kyle, it’s Turkey time! Mou is waiting…The Bayern Munich forward has lost his place in the lineup under Vincent Kompany and is willing to join a team where he’d get more playing time. Turkish clubs could undoubtedly fulfil his wish, though he’d most likely have to accept the salary reduction.His potential destination is still unknown, but it’s clear that only Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas would be able to afford a player with such a lavish wage.🚨 Heung-min Son has held talks with Jose Mourinho over a move to Fenerbahce. He’s open to a move to Turkey but it would cost around €30m due to interest from the Saudi Pro League.(Source: @yagosabuncuoglu) pic.twitter.com/I8JrLKkM9E— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 15, 2025 And while Galatasaray are after the Germans, Jose Mourinho is trying to recruit some of his former players and bring them to Fenerbahce. Namely, the Portuguese allegedly contacted Tottenham captain Son Heung-min, offering him a place on his team!In the end, all these rumours are, at this point, just that – rumours. Still, as the popular proverb says, Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So, if or when exclusive news appears claiming that one of the stars mentioned above officially decided to join a Turkish giant, don’t act surprised. It has been hinted at.##NAJAVA_MECA_8980506##
