Sallai wanted by Fulham
Roland Sallai has emerged as a target for Premier League side Fulham (1) (3) (4). The Hungarian winger is on their radar and a move to England could be on the cards this summer. No official bid yet, but the interest is concrete enough to make noise across the Turkish press. If Fulham come in strong, you might be losing a key attacking piece before the new season kicks off.
Verbal offer made for Rafael Leao
Galatasaray have made a verbal offer to Rafael Leao, and the numbers are serious, substantial salary figures put forward (2) (7). Fenerbahçe are also circling, but the bigger problem is Leao himself: he wants to wait. He needs to see who Milan appoint as manager and whether other offers land before deciding. Galatasaray is not his priority right now.
Squad clear-out underway
Players not in the plans for next season are heading for the exit, and this time it is permanent deals, not loans (5). The club is preparing to part ways with several names as the summer rebuild begins under the re-elected president Dursun Özbek.
Rivals chase the same national team star
Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are both in the mix for an unnamed Turkish national team player (8). The two Istanbul giants are going head-to-head in the market yet again. No name revealed yet, but expect this one to heat up fast.
Fan reactions
The Leao news has fans split. Some are buzzing at the ambition of even making such an offer, seeing it as a statement that Galatasaray can play at the top table. Others are more cautious, pointing out that Leao is clearly waiting for a bigger move and that the club risks being used as leverage. The mood around Sallai is more resigned, most fans accept that Premier League interest means a sale is likely if Fulham meet the valuation. Meanwhile, a couple of nostalgic posts about Yunus Akgün's celebrations and Rize's late equaliser remind everyone that even in the off-season, the small moments still hit. See more on the subreddit
