GALATASARAY TARGET GÜNDOĞAN! TURKISH GIANTS PLOT BID FOR MAN CITY VETERAN TO CONTINUE SPENDING SPREE
Galatasaray are stepping up their summer ambitions, having already signed Leroy Sané, and now appear ready to make a serious approach for Manchester City veteran Ilkay Gündoğan.
Turkish Giants Continue Spending Spree
Following Sané’s high-profile arrival, Galatasaray’s vice-president confirmed the club is targeting further reinforcements — including a new defender, goalkeeper, and central midfielder to succeed Dries Mertens.
Gündoğan Ready to Extend Career in Istanbul
Speaking about his readiness, Gündoğan (34) declared he can "play at top level for at least two more years," indicating he’s fully committed to continuing his playing career beyond his City contract. His next move? Many point to Turkey.
Galatasaray Leading the Charge
Sources report that Galatasaray are in advanced talks to secure Gündoğan’s signature, with the midfielder reportedly open to the idea. While Saudi clubs have also shown interest, Istanbul has the upper hand — especially given Gündoğan’s fondness for the country and desire to stay in Europe.
Galatasaray are offering a two-year deal with an optional third year. They hope to finalize the transfer once City’s season finishes, possibly shortly after the Club World Cup.
What’s at Stake?
Gündoğan’s likely departure would mark the end of a triumphant era in Manchester City’s midfield and open the door for new signings under Pep Guardiola. For Galatasaray, landing a decorated midfielder from one of Europe’s top clubs would signal serious intent in their bid to dominate both domestically and in continental competitions.
