Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Nheer]

The Galatasaray problem has always been their defense no doubt, but I've noticed that defense won't be a problem for them this season, having seen the signings they have made in the summer.

Galatasaray has some physically strong attackers who are capable of scoring many goals. As you can see, in their recent matches, they haven't conceded much goals so I believe with such narrative, they'll definitely want to keep winning matches and stay on top of the league table. It's going to be a big history for Galatasaray if the lift their domestic league trophy for the second time with osimhen as their striker. The striker, who became part of them last season lead them to their first domestic trophy and I believe they can defend the trophy again this season.

It would be a slap on their face if they don't address their defense problem and still play this season with that problem. I am impressed with some of their signings they made this time, now it's all about how easily the new players will adapt to the league and team. So far the start of the season they haven't conceded much and it shows that their defense is now doing well but let's wait till they meet a stronger side to test their ability.

Galatasaray are on the right track they just need to keep winning and keep up the momentum and they can win the title again this season. I see that Jose Mourinho was sack some days back which puts Fenerbahce in a tight situation now and I don't see them as a threat anymore because the new manager might struggle to get things in order at first which automatically reduces their chances of winning the title and I doubt if they can runner ups this season.

It's really unbelievable. Galatasaray still couldn't make a goalkeeper transfer. What's the reason of this wait?    We lost the Ederson chance to Fenerbahçe thanks to a great (!) transfer policy.

Lammens has signed for Man Utd, Dibu Martinez has rejected our offer... I'd have a good laugh if we really sign trash goalkeepers like Onana / Altay like in the rumours.

Barış Alper is also leaving so we need a left winger signing too immediately. Especially for the Champions League.

We didn't raise our bid for Ederson a bit, and we lost him to Fenerbahçe. Now we're left without a goalkeeper. It would be better to not sign Onana than to sign him at all. It must have been announced just now, Uğurcan Çakır announced on his official social media account that he had reached an agreement with Galatasaray. Uğurcan Çakır's transfer was a good one I still think he's better than goalkeepers like Onana and Altay Bayındır.

[MK-74]

On the last day for submitting squad lists for European competitions, the transfer process is moving quickly for two big clubs.

Galatasaray signed Uğurcan Çakır from Trabzonspor for €30 million. I think they paid a very high transfer fee, hopefully he’ll have a great career at Galatasaray.

Fenerbahçe signed Marco Asensio. It’s being reported that they have also reached an agreement for Ederson, and he is expected to come to Turkey.

Fenerbahçe also sent some players out:
Livaković was loaned to Girona.
Sofyan Amrabat was loaned to Real Betis.
Diego Carlos was loaned to Como.

The biggest news is that Yusuf Akçiçek was sold to Al Hilal for €22 million. They made good money from Yusuf. He will earn €6 million per year and signed a 4-year contract.

[ajanwalker]

Galatasaray signed Uğurcan Çakır for €36 million, including €33 million plus bonuses.
This transfer fee would put Uğurcan in the top 10 highest-paid goalkeepers in the world.
I think it's an exorbitant sum. He's not a goalkeeper worth that much. He's also not very young.
When Fenerbahçe signed Ederson, Galatasaray signed Uğurcan for such a large sum.
I'm eager to see how he performs, especially in the Champions League matches.
I think it's a huge scam. Uğurcan is no different from Günay.
It's a lot of money thrown away.
Furthermore, Galatasaray is still signing players for huge sums. Where this money comes from is beyond my comprehension. It's surprising to me, especially given that Türkiye is heading into a major economic crisis.

[mandown]

I haven't quite figured out Zaniolo. He comes to Galatasaray at the beginning of the season, attends their summer camp, and even plays in two or three matches before returning to Italy.
He transferred to Udinese on loan yesterday. As far as I can tell, this guy can't survive outside of Italy. If that's the case, just take his transfer and go. If I were a Galatasaray fan, I wouldn't want him on the team again. He's been nothing since the day he arrived.
I liked Udinese in the Inter match. They'll be a very good team this year. I think they'll be challenging for the top five in Serie A.

Galatasaray signed Uğurcan Çakır for €36 million, including VAT.
Uğurcan Çakır’s salary is not very high, he will earn about one-third of Ederson’s wage, roughly €3 million.
The main reason Galatasaray can afford to spend this much right now is the revenue from the Florya land project. In addition, they are also spending the money coming from the Champions League and sponsorship deals.

Last night, Ederson arrived and he is expected to sign today and be included in the European squad list.

There's a rumour that Gundogan of Manchester city moving to galatasaray today for medicals. If this goes successfully as expected today, that would be one of the most surprising transfer of a closing date. He will be signing a 3 year deal worth €5 million to seal his place in the closing date. Rumours has it that galatasaray will be sending a private jet to pick him up to sign before midnight. Congratulations to ikay Gundogan

All this time it was discussed that Ederson was negotiating with Galatasaray and I was sure that this transfer would take place, but as it turned out, now he will be the goalkeeper of Fenerbahce. City had to sell him because they signed a contract with Donnarumma, now everything is falling into place. By the way, City bought Ederson from Benfica in 2017 for €40m, and this transfer to Fenerbahce took place approximately in €13-14м, so I think for Fenerbahce such a transfer can be considered profitable.

According to Fabrizio Romano, everything is already agreed, so it's safe to say that Galatasaray managed to sign him.

𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐆𝐎! Ilkay Gündogan set to join Galatasaray today on a two year deal ❤️💛🇹🇷

A few weeks ago I said that I really admired the good signings that Galatasaray is making. The management is to be congratulated because they have managed to sign good players. It seems that the management's true objective is to get far in the European Champions League, because with this squad they will easily be champions.

So signing more players like this new signing would be unnecessary if they only focused on winning the Turkish league. In any case, we will see how far Galatasaray can get in the European Champions League.

İlkay Gündoğan will be bringing experience to the Turkish League. The 34-year-old midfield maestro have had successful career in top clubs in Europe and Galatasaray will benefit from it. I don't know if financial play rule also applies in Turkey because Gala have been spending on playerd without selling  to balance their books. They have signed Osimhen from Napoli, Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich, Wilfried Singo from Monaco and Trabzonspor goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır. The club is set to compete for the UCL.

...

Galatasaray have been able to identify some of the issue they had last season and have also gone ahead to make some adjustments in a bid to fortify their squad for this season, they have brought in some defenders to the squad to help strengthen their defense which is a brilliant thing to do especially for a team that would be playing in the champions league, the coaches tactics are quite commendable and would help the team compete favourable in the UCL this season.

Fenerbahçe secured a comfortable victory last night. This was exactly the kind of football Fenerbahçe should be playing.
Parting ways with Mourinho had a positive effect on the team.
It was also a busy night for Fenerbahçe. Kerem Aktürkoğlu arrived, reports say they reached an agreement with Marco Asensio, and the biggest news was about goalkeeper Ederson. Despite Galatasaray’s interest, it’s said that Fenerbahçe have reached a full agreement with Ederson and with Manchester City as well. Tomorrow is the last day to submit the European squad list, let’s see who else will join.

Sergen Yalçın's first match with Beşiktaş ended in defeat. Honestly, even if the best coach in the world managed this team, nothing could be achieve with this squad. Unfortunately, that’s the reality.

Fenerbahçe football team performance was very well in the last match as that team did 3 goals in the last match which was best effort in that match. En-Nesyri was a player who gave excellent effort in this match and did 2 goals in this match and he did his first goal at 35 minutes when it was requirement of team and after few minutes we saw goal by the same player who did goal at 40 minutes. Goutas was a person who did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 64 minutes when match was tough for his team but that team lost the match in the end.Pereira was a person who gave good start to his team and gave brilliant effort in this match as he did goal at 14 minutes when it was required to build pressure on opponent team.

The deal have already been announced so it's not a rumour again. Ilkay Gundogan is officially now Galatasaray player as he's signed a three-year deal with the Turkish champions. Personally, I feel that's a great deal for the former Germany international because of he fails to secure a deal away from the Manchester City, he's most likely not gonna get regular football this season because of the young new arrivals at the club. With the likes of Leroy Sane, Mauro Icardi, Victor Osimhen and now Ilkay Gundogan in the Galatasaray squad, I believe they'll not just retain the Turkish title but will also perform well in the European competition this season.

I think this is one of their best transfers. Because they won't pay Manchester City any transfer fee. İlkay Gündoğan came for free. He will play as a Turkish player even though he's a German citizen. That's another plus. His salary is 4.5 million Euro per year, which is normal for a player of his caliber. His age isn't that important, he can keep up with the pace here.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu's transfer rumours came to an end. Inter included him in their Champions League squad registration. Both yellow teams tried to sign him, but it didn't happen.

Václav Černý has signed. Beşiktaş now has a very high-quality right winger. Keny Arroyo, on the other hand, has been sent to Cruzeiro. He didn't deliver the expected performance.

Hmm but to my own opinion I think there's nothing wrong with their defense line, as they have conceded less goals since the starting of the 2025/2026 Turkish super League campaign, so the defense is not really that bad like you guys are seeing it, and trust me for the Turkish super League title this season it already belongs to Galatasaray no doubt because no one can come close to them and for Victor osimhen he's leading Galatasaray to their second league title in a, the only problem here is they should focus more on the champions League that's where I want them to focus because I'd really love it if maybe one of these underdog teams lift that trophy one day.

The best place to test the strength of Galatasary defense will be in the champions League because I feel that the quality of teams in the Turkish super league is not that great to be putting their defense in pressure, because Galatasary has improved their teams quality to the point that other teams can't put so much pressure on them that much.

The transfer fees for the recent signings of İlkay Gündoğan and goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır seem high to me. At least they've assembled a solid squad for the Champions League. İlkay Gündoğan's experience will be valuable to Galatasaray because he played for Manchester City for many years and has a wealth of experience. Galatasaray will benefit from this experience in the Champions League.

Uğurcan Çakır is a good goalkeeper, but was it right to pay such a high transfer fee? I think a better transfer could have been made recently.

you can be sure that galatasaray and other turkish teams competing in europe will face a major setback in these european matches. even the weaker aspects of these teams' squads in the super league dominate other teams.

whether the squads are truly sufficient can only be understood by their performance against opponents of the same level. turkish teams competing in europe have no rivals of their own level in turkey.

Uğurcan Çakır's transfer was a good one I still think he's better than goalkeepers like Onana and Altay Bayındır.

Is a best decision of signing Fenerbahce did because Ederson is a goalkeeper on the high rank and popularly known to be someone who knows the quality of a good goalkeeper, I actually started liking the goalkeeper from how he handle himself in Manchester City because he was a contributor and competing even at the point of going for scoring, I didn't no he would even leave Manchester City that soon because he was the goalkeeper they can ever want to have so actually since he is in Fenerbahce that side is well guided except minor mistakes or from defense. Galatasaray or Fenerbahce was already were he would have gotten the entertainment on the league.

[MK-74]

Galatasaray completed the transfer of İlkay Gündoğan and got his signature. İlkay will earn €4.5 million per year.
İlkay is a good transfer for Galatasaray. He played for many years at Man City, and I think he’ll play here for at least two seasons. I believe he’ll contribute a lot to the team.

The costs of Ederson and Uğurcan are almost the same. Ederson has more experience, so we’ll see this season which one will be more productive.
