Galatasaray joins Fenerbahçe in summer hunt for top forwards

Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are active in the 2026 summer transfer market. Galatasaray is reported to be targeting Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli, with the Brazilian forward seen as a popular option alongside AC Milan striker Rafael Leão. The club hopes a move could revive Martinelli’s form after an inconsistent season.

Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, is linked with a possible signing of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. Napoli is said to have an offer in the €7‑8 million range, with the Turkish side expected to begin formal negotiations soon. Both clubs aim to bolster their attacking options ahead of domestic campaigns and European competition.
