Galatasaray Musiala transfer denial

Entities: Jamal Musiala · Mehmet Özbek · Abdullah Kavukcu · Galatasaray SK · Galatasaray Sports Club

Overview

In late July 2026, Galatasaray issued an official statement rejecting media reports that German international Jamal Musiala was close to joining the Turkish club, either on loan or permanently. The club affirmed that no negotiations had taken place and that Musiala remained under contract with Bayern Munich.

A few days later, Galatasaray reiterated the denial while also highlighting an internal power struggle. Chairman Dursun Özbek was reported to be transferring transfer‑decision authority to his brother Mehmet Özbek and executive Cenk Ergün, marginalising long‑time transfer chief Abdullah Kavukcu, who was considering resignation after being excluded from recent meetings.
