Critical midfield transfer initiatives from Galatasaray
With the transfer window nearing its close, the yellow-red club has taken action to secure important players to strengthen its midfield.
Continuing its transfer efforts, Galatasaray is maintaining official contacts to add Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga and Milan player Youssouf Fofana to its squad.
Star names targeted for the midfield
The Galatasaray management accelerated its efforts to strengthen the squad in the final week of the transfer window and put prominent names on its agenda.
Eduardo Camavinga transfer on the agenda
Having already added Rafael Leao to its squad, Galatasaray is targeting Real Madrid's young talent Eduardo Camavinga for the midfield transfer.
For the 23-year-old French player requested by transfer-responsible executive Abdullah Kavukcu and head coach Okan Buruk, Real Madrid has lowered its transfer fee to around 55 million euros.
Real Madrid's decision is awaited
The transfer window in Spain closes on September 2, and Real Madrid is expected to make further discounts on the transfer fee depending on the moves it will make regarding the midfield.
Youssouf Fofana alternative
As an alternative, Galatasaray made a loan offer with an option to buy for 27-year-old Youssouf Fofana, who plays for Milan, and the player has accepted this offer.
Names that could leave the team
It is stated that in the event that the Youssouf Fofana transfer takes place, Lemina could leave the team and Başakşehir is interested in the player.
