Galatasaray pursues Rafael Leão and Ismaïla Sarr

Galatasaray is actively pursuing two major offensive reinforcements, focusing on AC Milan winger Rafael Leão and Crystal Palace winger Ismaïla Sarr.

Negotiations for Rafael Leão have progressed, with the transfer fee gap between Galatasaray and AC Milan reportedly narrowing to between 5 million and 10 million euros. While Galatasaray is prepared to exceed 40 million euros, a primary sticking point remains the bonus structure requested by Milan, which includes various performance-based triggers. Italian media outlets suggest Leão has shown a positive attitude toward the move.

Simultaneously, Galatasaray has reached an agreement with Ismaïla Sarr, who is reportedly eager to join the club. However, Crystal Palace's 60 million euro valuation remains a significant obstacle. Sarr is reportedly exerting pressure on the English club to facilitate the move. The club's ability to finalize the Sarr transfer may depend on the potential departure of a midfielder from the current squad.
