Galatasaray seeks Kolo Muani, Vlahovic and other forwards as Icardi departure approaches

Mauro Icardi’s contract is set to expire, and Galatasaray’s management has already begun planning for his likely exit. The Turkish club’s primary targets to replace the Argentine striker are French forward Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan at PSG with a mandatory purchase clause that Galatasaray prefers to handle via an option‑to‑buy loan, and Serbian striker Dušan Vlahović, whose deal with Juventus has ended, making him a free‑transfer prospect but demanding a high salary.

In addition to the two front‑court options, reports cite interest in Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, who allegedly held preliminary talks with the club and said “why not?” about a move, and Milan winger Rafael Leão, who has been linked to a €60 million bid. Leão, however, indicated a preference for the English Premier League, suggesting his transfer to Galatasaray remains uncertain.
