Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

Signing a player that's 30 years old with a big amount of money is a risk because the player will be prone to injury and he can't give his maximum performance, but I won't blame Fenerbahçe why they want to sign Sorloth from Atletico Madrid. I could remember Robin Van Persie helped Manchester United lift their 20th title when he was close to 30 years old, so if Fenerbahçe knows that Sorloth can help them achieve greatness, I am backing Fenerbahçe to sign Sorloth.

Robin Van Persie later transferred to Fenerbahçe and was a disappointment. He constantly suffered from injuries and earned money while sitting on the sidelines. Sörloth has shown impressive performances in Türkiye in the past. That's why Turkish teams are very interested in him. However, I think the transfer fee mentioned for him is too high. If Turkish teams wait a few more seasons, they can sign Sörloth as a free player. He is a typical pivot striker. I think he can still do well in the Turkish league even at 32-33 years old...

I believe by the time Fenerbahçe signed Robin Van Persie, he had nothing to offer in football because he had passed his prime, and as a player who's prone to injury, Fenerbahçe shouldn't have signed Robin Van Persie because he wouldn't be fit to play for Fenerbahçe, so I blame Fenerbahçe for what ever they suffered at the hand of Robin Van Persie. If Turkish teams think the transfer fee for Sörloth is too high and they aren't willing to pay for the fee, they should wait until he becomes a free agent so that any Turkish team Sörloth accepts to play for can sign him for free.

I think it is too early to sell the player. Noa Lang is still adapting in Napoli. I think he needs more time to show his worth. Napoli signed him for €28 million from PSV. Will Galastataray be willing to pay such an amount for the Netherlands international? He earns about €2.8 million per season; the Turkish side can afford it. He is a good player who could help the club in its quest to win trophies this season. 

Galatasaray is about to pay a huge sum of money for Osimhen. The transfer fee was €75m and his salary must be around €19m a year as far as I remember.

This makes one think about 2 different things:

- Then they can afford Noa Lang easier.
- Or they can't because of having not much money left to allocate for other transfers.

We will see which one is true.

The Super Cup semi-final match will be played this evening between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.
Tomorrow evening, Fenerbahçe will face Samsunspor.

I think we will see Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in the final.
Fenerbahçe will most likely win tomorrow, I’d say there’s a 90% chance.

I can't say the same for Galatasaray, though, because they are playing Trabzonspor tonight, who are one of the most in-form teams in the league. I see it as a 60–40 matchup.

It's not really about "being able to afford", because teams can make debt, just look at Barcelona lol. It's more about "is he worth it", because paying nearly 30 for a player at that calibre isn't looking like a smart move. If they got lookman instead then I would say there would be more chance, plus he is Nigerian and would work very well with Osimhen, would allow easier adaptation process as well.

This is why I think Lookman is a better choice, even though he could be more expensive, the result you get would be worth all of it as well. Noa Lang isn't a bad player neither, I just think he is worth something south of 20 and not as much as these claims, that would be way too much and not really be worth it to pay that much.

I think the same as you on the final matchup. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe step forward in their semi final matches. Even in the absence of some important players in the lineup.

Galatasaray - Trabzonspor match is still 0-0 by the way after 30 minutes. Galatasaray is the side playing with the ball much more but Trabzonspor had a shot hitting the post.

The number of shots and big chances are similar. I expect a small goal difference at the end.

[jostorres]

I'm wondering where Galatasaray's management gets so much money to sign players. They already have a very expensive player, Osimhen, and they still want to make more signings? Where does all that money come from to pay the salaries of all these players? I find it strange how they have so much money while the other teams have nothing.

Suddenly situation at Galatasaray is interesting because media reports clearly showing Turk giants wants to offload him because now they are looking for more money and have other options with Bayern Munich already rejected this possible move.

Other strong candidate is Al Hilal but Osimhen already rejected this offer even if he joins Saudi Club, Galatasaray can take good amount after selling him with the price of €125 m but after players refusal it already ended, but something behind scene are cooking which will be opened in few days after his arrival from AFCON.

I think Turkish teams should stop bringing back players who have previously played in Turkey and had some success. Fenerbahçe did this most recently with the Anderson Talisca transfer. I don't find this transfer logical because Talisca played his best years at Beşiktaş. He's getting older and is far from his former performance level. Despite this, giving him such a high contract is completely illogical. If they experience a similar problem with the Sörloth transfer, it will be a financial burden.

Galatasaray won the semi-final match of the Turkish Super Cup today, meaning we noticed that Victor Osimhen's team won against Trabzonspor today with great ease.In fact, Nigerian player Osimhen was not in this game but even then, I did not notice for a moment that the mentality of the Galatasaray team had weakened, the bottom line is that every player on this team had a very positive attitude and my guess they were physically fit. Since Galatasaray won this semi-final match 4-1, so my faith and it is certain that they will try to win the Turkish Super Cup final match as well.

Bayern Munich rejected Osimhen because they don't need a player like him now. They already have Kane who is scoring like a goal machine. There is Jackson on loan as well.

Even when he returns to Chelsea they can still find a cheaper player than Osimhen to fill his place. I don't think Osimhen would like to go to Saudi Arabia by the way. He would accept offers from Europe only for now.

Watching the match, we can see that Galatasaray dominated until the very end. Trabzonspor didn't play very well and couldn't withstand this defeat. They scored a goal in the second half, but it wasn't enough to stop Galatasaray. Galatasaray won the match by scoring four goals and gained a huge advantage in the Super Cup.

I never knew this move is and was already taking this  direction whereby even Galatasaray are gradually beginning  to give in to moving out a key player eve amidst Bayern Munich nt expressing complete interest as at the time, their objective may have possibly changed to a more money driven one than trophy or title driven.

The match was better than I expected. Especially the first half tempo was much higher than the league standards. To be honest, Trabzonspor was a bit weak. But they played well after 2-0. That missed chance at 2-1 was the turning point. Unfortunately, Galatasaray can't give their fans a comfortable match even when they lead 2-0

Today, news about Quilindschy Hartman came for the first time. Left-back Jurasek failed to deliver and will be sent back. Beşiktaş is now looking for a new left-back. Rıdvan is not good enough and they also need another left-back in terms of numbers. Quilindschy Hartman, who plays for Burnley, is exactly the type of left-back Beşiktaş is looking for. He has made 4 assists in 15 matches this season. He also has many assists at Feyenoord. It seems he is a good attacking left-back, like Masuaku. I think he would be a very good addition to the squad. He can start in matches just as he come.

[Balmain]

It was a difficult evening for Fatih Tekke and Trabzonspor. In the cup semi-final, Galatasaray managed to beat Trabzonspor 4-1. They say Onana, who has been highly praised, is back to his old form. Sane is very technical, easily dribbles without tiring himself out, and makes accurate passes. After Barış Alper Yılmaz's goal, Galatasaray increased their attacks, and Eren Elmalı scored another goal before the end of the first half. Icardi's pass was clever. Although Trabzonspor scored a goal in the second half, giving them some hope, it wasn't enough.

[IceLincoln]

You are right about Galatasaray's having players who can still continue winning league matches while Osimhen is out at his national team. Icardi can fill his place in the league.

Maybe he can't give the exact same contribution Osimhen gives to the team. Because of not being able to run and not having the same play style.

But his surplus weight still hasn't prevented him from being the top scorer foreign player in Galatasaray history.

Comparing Icardi with Osimhen is a big mistake. When Osimhen plays 3 defenders must watch him every second. He creates so much space for other players even if he doesn't score. His contribution is huge for the team. But Icardi only score when the match is already 3-0 or 4-0. He cannot save the team when GS is losing. Opponent defenders are not even afraid of him anymore because he is too slow. Yes, he did great things in the past but now he is done. We can't compare him to a beast like Osimhen

Yeah yeah Mauro Icardi used to be a big player for Galatasaray but his form has dropped since the arrival of Osimhen and his injury, he’s no longer as deadly as he was. I guess his form started dipping even before the arrival of Victor Osimhen that’s why Galatasaray was looking for a striker. It’s always good to have two good strikers in the team right now Mauro Icardi has a lot to do to step up in the position.

Today they (Galatasaray) were impressive against Trabzonspor demolishing them 4:1 maybe without their star striker, another Nigerian Paul Onuachu they had no teeth to bite.

Really an amazing match in the super cup so many chances bit Galatasaray was clearly better and really destroyed in the end Trabzonspor and it could have been a lot worst. Trabzonspor had some chances in the first half but just didnt take them and later it was too late. They were able to score one but Galatasarays attack in the second half was just really good. If Galatasaray plays like this in the final surely they will win it

[MK-74]

Last night Galatasaray played very well and earned a comfortable win. They look very well prepared for the rest of the season.
Yunus, Sané and Barış were very good yesterday.
Icardi made a great assist.
Eren Elmalı returned with a goal after a long time.
No one can stop Galatasaray this season, they will be champions with a 99% probability.

I watched the Galatasaray-Trabzonspor Super Cup match yesterday. I couldn't understand why Trabzonspor was so bad. There's no trace of the team that played magnificent football a month ago and was close to the top of the league. They're terrible. The absence of Ulai and Onuachu shouldn't have had such a negative impact on Trabzonspor.

The Trabzonspor coaching staff should rewatch Galatasaray's third goal and show it to the players. A team aiming for the championship shouldn't concede such an easy goal. If you give them opportunities like that, you won't see the championship. Trabzonspor lost the match with a humiliating 4-1 performance. Galatasaray advanced to the final, and today we'll see who their opponent will be.

[karabiber]

Trabzonspor, which had been sailing through many league matches without any problems, has been struggling to win since it began to deviate from its ideal starting 11 due to injuries and absences. This process became apparent in the Göztepe and Beşiktaş matches and was clearly visible in the Gençlerbirliği match. Therefore, I find it inappropriate to criticize the team or the coach for this squad structure. However, I do have a few criticisms regarding the organization. What logical justification did you find for scheduling a match in Gaziantep in the middle of winter? There are no flights from Trabzon to Gaziantep. The state of the roads due to winter is evident. How do you expect the fans to gather in Gaziantep?

I dont agree. Honestly, Trabzon isn't even bad, it's just that Galatasaray is playing on another level. Moreover Trabzon already overperformed in the first half of the season. Nobody expected a title race from Trabzonspor. Just making it to Europe would’ve been a win. They are in a very good level mostly because of Fatih Tekke.
