While transfer efforts continue at Galatasaray, it has emerged that young left-back Kazımcan Karataş, who has received limited playing time this season, wants to leave the team and has communicated this decision to the club management.

Busy Hours During the Transfer Window

While squad reinforcements continue without interruption with only a few days left before the transfer window closes at Galatasaray, important moves were made consecutively at the yellow-red club.

As President Dursun Özbek and board members accelerate transfer efforts, an unexpected departure request has come to the agenda within the team alongside the new reinforcements.

New Transfers Joined the Squad

Following the moves for Ugochukwu and Batrakov, the yellow-red club announced that they have added Deniz Gül, Rafael Leao, and El Chadaille Bitshiabu to their squad.

While it was reported to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) that a 4-year contract was signed with new transfer Rafael Leao, El-Chadaille Bitshiabu, who plays for Leipzig, was loaned for 1 year.

Kazımcan Karataş's Request to Leave

Kazımcan Karataş, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Başakşehir and is struggling to find playing time in the yellow-red team this season, wants to leave the club.

It is stated that the 23-year-old football player, who remains as the third left-back behind Jakobs and Eren, has conveyed this decision to the management.

Okan Buruk's Approach and Final Decision

It is stated that head coach Okan Buruk wants to keep the young player in the team due to the intense match schedule and is not warm to letting him go.

While it is stated that the final decision regarding the footballer's future will be made by the club management, the player's contract continues until 2027.
