Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[MK-74]

Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe announced their transfers today.

Galatasaray officially signed Osimhen and brought him to Turkey this evening.

Fenerbahçe added Milan Skriniar and Nelson Semedo to their squad.

Great news for both major clubs,  we’ll be watching the rivalry between these two teams in the league.
Since Beşiktaş’s squad quality is poor, at best they’ll finish the league in 3rd place.

[LGD2Business]

The agreement with Chobani has been financially beneficial for Fenerbahçe. They have made a significant profit from this. Today, they announced two new transfers. They signed Nelson Semedo as right back. Semedo, who was a free agent after his contract with Wolverhampton expired, finally signed the contract. The other transfer was Milan Skriniar. The defender, who already played for Fenerbahçe on loan last season, was signed from PSG.

Additionally, Fenerbahçe defeated Lazio 1-0 in a friendly match today. The only goal of the match was scored by İrfan Can Kahveci. İrfan Can, who has scored in three out of the five friendly matches he has played, was rumored to be moving to other clubs, but it seems that he is currently the most in-form player at Fenerbahçe. We will see if he stays with the team.

Fenerbahçe announced two transfers yesterday. It wasn't a surprising move, as fans knew Skriniar from last season. He's a leader who can build up the defense. He'll contribute significantly to Fenerbahçe this season, just like he did last year.
Since he's ready, he'll be on the pitch for the Feyenoord match.
When I heard Nelson Semedo, I wondered where he came from. He's a player who played for Benfica and Barcelona. He plays right back. He's probably a player Jose wants. I hope he's useful. He last played for Wolverhampton. If he's ready, he'll play right back for the Feyenoord match. Mert Müldür will be a substitute.

Beşiktaş has been lackluster in transfers this year.
Orkun Kökçü was transferred, that's all. Gedson left when Moscow offered him twice the fee he earned at Beşiktaş.
Beşiktaş will play the second leg of the UEFA qualifying round today. Orkun isn't in the squad. The statement says he's injured, but I don't think he's ready. He was very ineffective in the last match. Abraham, aside from the penalty, hasn't done anything else. I think Beşiktaş will finish third, perhaps even fourth, in their league this year at best. Beşiktaş could still relinquish the championship in November.

[CryptoYar]

Losing Gedson Fernandes especially after rival offered him double his salary is big problem. There are also concerns about new signing Orkun Kökçü who is injured and played poorly last match making him seem not ready for today UEFA Europa League qualifier against Shakhtar Donetsk.
With another new signing Tammy Abraham only scoring penalty your prediction that Beşiktaş will finish 3rd or 4th in league and might even drop out of championship race by November seems likely showing your concern about their current team strength and ability to compete for top spots.

[Cossyblack]

Galatasaray officially signed Osimhen and brought him to Turkey this evening.

It's all good that the Turkish giant were able to sign an agreement with Victor osimhen. I think they did the right thing by retaining an experience striker like Victor osimhen into the team. It's obvious that Victor osimhen has played and perform excellently well for Galatasaray last season, his incredible performance earned him the prestigious award of the highest goal scorer,he (Victor osimhen] also led Galatasaray to victory by  winning both trophies [ cup and league] last season . It's shows how inform and  valuable Victor osimhen is to Galatasaray and with him on the team and since he is currently in good form and shape,I am confident he will perform exceptionally well in the next season as he could possibly win both trophies for Galatasaray  again back to back.

[Distraction]

We've talked Donnarumma but it looks like Galatasaray is officially going for Ederson now. They were completely focused on the Osimhen transfer and now it's done.

Now Buchi Laba claims that there are 2 more big transfers on the way for them. One of them must be Ederson. I wonder who the other one is...    Do you have any opinion on it? Maybe a left-winger transfer to replace Barış Alper?

Fenerbahçe played a decent game in their friendly against Lazio. Fenerbahçe started the game with pressure. Lazio, on the other hand, looked more withdrawn in the first half of the game, waiting to counter the opponent's tempo. They struggled to build up the pressure, they suffered a physical decline in the later minutes of the game and were ineffective in front of goal.

Of course this is a friendly but there is a big difference between Lazio last season and Lazio this season. I think the team is out of shape because of the squad rotation. Mourinho fielded a Fenerbahçe that controlled the ball and pressed instead of sitting back. The high tempo in the first half was the hallmark of the game in general. Fenerbahçe are buoyed by the Lazio win. Before focusing on the Feyenoord game, there are positive signs in the team's playing system.

By the looks of it, Besiktas could be lucky if they could finish third. They are not looking that much better and they just bought two big names, which should of course help them to be that third place, but if any of them misses a long period of time, it's just the same team from last year, who failed to be third place.

Ole is a good manager or at least he is a good person, I really like him and I would love to see him do great, but lets be honest he is not fitting Besiktas right now. He is playing a style of football that doesn't fit them. Fenerbahce made some decent moves, but they are still horrible at wings, they need to get at least two ingers to make the team better. They are worse than last year if you ask me, even now.

Now that the Osimhen transfer is complete, it's time to sign a goalkeeper.
Ederson wants to join Galatasaray anyway.
Galatasaray can afford to pay the players the players' desired wages, and the fact that they will be competing in the Champions League this year is a huge advantage.
Why would Galatasaray want to replace Barış Alper? Barış Alper isn't going anywhere. Galatasaray is demanding a €30 million transfer fee for Barış.
No club in Europe would pay that much for Barış. Barış will continue playing for Galatasaray next year.
Perhaps if he performs well in the Champions League this year, he could be transferred to Europe the following year.

According to reports I've read, Ederson has agreed to a personal agreement with Galatasaray. The problem is that they made a low offer to City, 3 million euros, far below City asking price of around 50-60 million euros. If Galatasaray really wants to add the goalkeeper to their squad, they'll have to raise their offer or Arab clubs could potentially acquire him.
Regarding Barış Alper, he will stay. Galatasaray only Baris Alper and Leroy Sane on the left wing.

[Slow death]

I honestly don't understand why Turkish teams can't consistently get very far in European competitions, I'm talking about at least reaching the finals.



In the first leg, Besiktas lost, but at least they managed to score two goals. Unfortunately, they conceded four goals, but there was still some hope of turning the result around in the second leg. Yesterday, instead of being a game of trying to turn the result around, it was a game in which the opponent won and even scored two goals without conceding a goal.

It was an easy victory for Shakhtar Donetsk. Now, Besiktas has been eliminated from the Conference League. If they had advanced to the other stages, they would have earned a decent amount of money, but they will have to play in the Conference League. I don't know how the board is feeling, but something tells me that Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be fired early, because I don't see Besiktas doing well in the league.

I'm afraid Ederson isn't likely to come to us. At least according to what I read earlier in the day. 

Manchester City wants €20m for his fee and we don't want to pay that much for him they say. Unless a middle way is found, it's not happening.

I wonder how much we still have in our transfer budget now. They don't give us any information about it.

It is true that Turkish teams come short in European competitiveness, Shakhtr Donetsk 4-2 triumph over besiktas to extend Thier unbeaten strike with Turkish to 10 game, 9 wins and 1 draw if I recall correctly. Besiktas weak defensive line cost them dearly , the statistics show that in 24 European games they have conceded 44 goals and only managed four clean sheets this data shows how shaky their defense is, And solskjaer is in trouble now because his future at the club might end if he doesn't comeback at the second leg. So the board's nerves aren't baseless, it could to be sure get dirty.

Donnarumma is expected to move to Manchester United if everything goes well. Ederson would be another good option too. His transfer will strengthen the team and improve their chances locally and in European competitions.

What should we expect from a team that failed to made significant transfer. If we added that to the poor performance in the last season then no surprise they will lose. In fact betting against them would be a good move for those who did it.

I think they wanted to give Solksjaer a chance, and that's perfectly understandable. Solksjaer played well last year. That's why the management wants him to stay. They believe in him and think he'll be successful next year. That's why they decided to keep him. They need to bring in new players; if they don't, it wouldn't be fair to expect success in the Conference League.

I don't see any miracle that Besiktas will put up in the second leg if the management of besiktas wants to see any real improvement in the team especially challenging for the Turkish super league title then this coach has to go because I don't see anything fantastic that he did last season solskjaer really lacks tactics and it was seen in this game again Shakter Donest

The board is responsible because they didn't make any transfers. The entire summer was officially wasted. Immobile left and Abraham came in his place. Masuaku's contract expired and Jurasek came in his place. Orkun Kökçü was transferred. Other than that, no reinforcements were made. The team needs wingers, but not a single winger was signed. They said they needed defender backs, but the one who came in on the left is worse than the one who left and there's no new one on the right. Beşiktaş didn't play with any new players besides Abraham in the second match. They continued with the same squad that was criticized and disliked last season and this is the result. Ole hasn't contributed anything to the team. If this is the squad you have, you have to make the best of it. But it's very clear that Ole isn't a manager at Beşiktaş's level.

If Man City really wants €50–60 million for Ederson, they must be out of their minds.
Everyone would rather go for Donnarumma at that price. PSG would sell him immediately for that amount.
Galatasaray definitely won’t pay that much to Man City, instead, they’ll make a deal with a different goalkeeper.

But if the €20 million news for Ederson is true, Galatasaray might actually go for it.
Paying €15–18 million after negotiations would be a very reasonable transfer fee for Ederson, in my opinion.

Yes, I read it, it says Ederson's current market value is 20 million euros considering he's over 30 years old but in some news outlets I've read before, Man City wanted a release fee of 50 million but they recently lowered their release price, possibly because they've found a replacement goalkeeper, Trafford, this could be the moment for Galatasaray to sign him, and for this deal to happen, Galatasaray will have to raise their offer.
