Transfer Market Updates: Galatasaray and Beşiktaş in the Focus

The transfer market in Turkey is buzzing with activity ahead of the summer of 2026. At the club GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, it is reported that Kayserispor is interested in the services of veteran goalkeeper Günay Güvenç, while the Yellow-Reds are considering the possibility of signing the young talent Deniz Zeitler from Hoffenheim. At the same time, the Haber Gündem channel reports that Galatasaray has opened negotiations to acquire a 19-year-old talent, in what is described as an "investment for the future."

In the Beşiktaş sector, journalist Fırat Günayer, known as a source close to the club's affairs, provided extensive insights through the BEŞİKTAŞ SEVDALILARI channel. Günayer addressed the dynamics between the big clubs and claimed that agents are exploiting the existing rivalry to drive up prices, as happened in the past during the Talisca affair.

Regarding the team's squad, Günayer reports clear plans:

• Departures and stayers: Semih Kılıçsoy is the only player among those on loan who will return to the permanent squad, while Djaló and Emirhan will continue with the team. Goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu wants to leave, and such a move will lead to the signing of a backup goalkeeper.


• Recruitment targets: The club is monitoring Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Aral Şimşir, while negotiations with Mert Kömür have been halted.


• Attack: Signing a star striker is currently a second priority, as the team will appear for the match against Midtjylland with striker OH.
