Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Odohu]

Less than a month before the Turkish League season begins, the players has to warm up with the preseason matches, I would love to see how they would tactically perform, and see if they still have the same attacking approach. Playing against the second level Turkish League shouldn't be a hard win for Galatasaray, I expect them to conquer in good number of goals.

Pre-season matches are good as they give the players the opportunity to be tested playing together. From the pre-season matches, coaches can already gauge the fitness of some of their players and how well the new signings will blend into the team. Galatasaray start of the pre-season is one with a lower team, which like you said should not be difficult for them to win. But I don't think winning a lone is all the coach set out to achieve as the purpose of the match is to actually test the players.

Galatasaray fielded a reserve squad and gave Ümraniyespor no chance. They secured a 5-0 victory, with many of the goals scored by youth players. Can Armando Güner also impressed by scoring alongside the young players. Young players may get more opportunities at Galatasaray next year.

I didn't follow this game but I did check when Galatasaray was down 1-0. I checked their line up and couldn't recognize anyone from the squad so I just thought that they might as well lose since there was literally nothing at stake. But imagine my surprise to see that they didn't just win but they won comfortably.

This upcoming season is going to be an interesting one. Seeing other teams reinforcing their squad is clear indication of that. Can't wait.

Fenerbache signing Greenwood and Besiktas signing Trossard shows that there will be a lot of competition in the league next season and i hope the remaining teams can also do the right thing by signing some players for them to compete with other teams, i like Turkish league because many top players are also playing there and it looks like many players prefer going there than some other leagues.

as i was saying, Galatasaray is a step ahead of the others, only now are they starting to invest more convincingly in the other teams, a more secluded championship compared to the others and from this i find it more difficult to understand how a young man with so many possibilities like Greenwood has decided not to continue in teams more like him.

I'm really frustrated with Galatasaray's being so slow in the transfer market! They've been acting the same during the recent years. 

I just think they've got complacent after getting used to becoming the champions every year. They feel like this will go on forever probably. But it won't.

We've made only 1 transfer so far. Duran deal is off as he is signing for Benfica. Davinson is likely to leave. We need transfers for multiple positions to get stronger too.

Last season they were champions and I didn't see many of their best players leaving the team in this transfer window. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the coach isn't telling the management to sign many new players; perhaps they don't even need any new players. They have a strong squad, and I believe that with the same squad, they will be able to become champions again. The other teams can make whatever changes they want; they aren't yet a major threat to Galatasaray's current squad. That's my personal opinion.

I disagree. Galatasaray needs good players. Their rivals are making very good transfers, and Galatasaray is still almost silent. Apart from Osimhen, the performance of the other players is not consistent. This does not make their performance consistent. Last year, Fenerbahçe lost the championship because they played poorly, but Galatasaray may not be as lucky this year.

Aside from Osimhen, the squad is mediocre I’d even call it rubbish. The midfield and defense are weak; the team only has a good goalkeeper and a good striker. Much better signings are needed. They succeeded in the league last season partly because teams like Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş were struggling however, those rivals are making strong signings and building solid squads this season, so Galatasaray needs to strengthen its own roster as well.

Is Galatasaray's defense really weak ? I do not  think so. Their defense is strong compared to the teams in the Super lig. Last season, the team only conceded 30 goals. Fenerbahce, who are in second place in the table, conceded 37 goals.

But this is not exactly Galatasaray's  midfield. They should strengthen their attack a little more since the team will also perform in the Champions League. In attack, Osimhen and Sane are capable of performing well. But Galatasaray does not have  a worthy replacement if either of these players gets injured.

Be?ikta? and Fenerbahçe have gotten off to a fast start in the transfer market. Galatasaray have been a bit quieter. I wonder when they'll get started? I'm sure they'll spend serious money this season as well to stay at the top.
The competition this season will be on a whole new level. Teams have started spending much more money than they used to.

Turkish football has also made an upgrade in this sense, at least the most well-known clubs have started to invest more decisively in the market, i think that Galatasary already has a very strong team and a squad of notable value, Besiktas and Fenerbache, the most difficult rivals are now starting to invest in players of a more interesting level.

as they say "you don't change a team that wins" in my opinion Galatasaray didn't specifically want to make significant changes so as not to destabilize the team, just think of United in recent years and the effort they made to find a balance, i think Galatasary reasoned in a very similar way.

Galatasaray will begin its preseason matches starting today. I think Galatasaray, which plans to kick off the season with a preseason match against Ümraniyespor, will easily defeat its opponent in this game. Ümraniyespor competes in a lower division, so they won’t be able to put up much of a fight. When we look at the recent head-to-head matches between these two teams, Galatasaray’s clear dominance is already evident. Galatasaray will score at least 2–3 goals against their opponent in this preseason match.

That was one sided match and one team was dominant in the whole game and Galatasaray football team did 5 goals in this match and five different players did goals in this match. Ada Yüzgec took revenge of first goal and he did this goal at 35 minutes of the match because before that there was goal by opponent team and Mustfa did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 12 minutes. Ada Yüzgec did come back and did second goal of the match and after that Kazimcan did third goal of the match and he did this goal at 42 minutes.Güner did 4th goal of the match and after that position of that team was very strong in this match and Berat did second last goal of the match which was at 62 minutes and players performance was at top in this match and they won this match easily.

Galatasaray's defense line is quite weak for the CL honestly. Let's be realistic. Abdülkerim isn't quick and he has huge problems against strikers with good level of speed. Davinson isn't very consistent either.

If we won't use a duo like Singo - Davinson then we should sign a foreign centre-back to replace Abdülkerim in CL games at least. I bet we'll see the difference.    We need to make more transfers also! For example a number 10...

Beşiktaş is putting together a surprising roster this season. President Adalı is aiming to get the season off to a strong start with some unexpected signings. Having significantly strengthened its offense, Beşiktaş will be in the running for the league title. The 26-27 season gives the impression that it will be highly competitive and full of surprises. The Salah transfer is on the agenda, and if it goes through, I think it will completely shake up the balance of power in the league.

There is no need to change in the way of a major overhaul, buy players just to strengthen the depth of the squad or rotate players for the balance of the team, and it still needs to be done, but one possible reason why Galatasaray is not too aggressive in recruiting this time especially high-quality players, may be due to financial constraints, because after all in the market last year they have invested quite a lot. But I think they can still compete and even defend the title next season even though their strong rival teams are buying good players at the moment.

Mo Salah, if he transfers to Beşiktaş, would be one of the most prestigious transfers in the history of the Turkish Super League. Even the mere arrival of such a good player in Turkey would be very important for the league's viewership. Therefore, considering the fact that Beşiktaş would benefit greatly from him, the contract offered to him wouldn't be a major problem for Beşiktaş. In my opinion, if this transfer is possible, Beşiktaş should do everything in its power to bring the player to the team.

News about Virgil van Dijk has started coming out today as well. Frankly I don't think all this transfer hype is right. We should celebrate after the players actually arrive. We shouldn't get carried away before they're here. Salah transfer hasn't even been officially announced yet. There's excitement on social media as if both Salah and van Dijk had already joined.

Let the players arrive first and then we'll celebrate. Besides what matters isn't being the transfer champion, but actually winning the championship at the end of the season. I hope new players perform well and don't come here just for the money.

[lodocus]

I don’t think anything concrete has emerged yet regarding the Salah reports. While some journalists are backing the story, others say talks are still ongoing.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, appears to be preparing to sign Bruno Fernandes. He’s been one of the players whose name has come up in every transfer window for the past few seasons, and following Mertens’ departure, Galatasaray needs a quality playmaker. This move would also be a strong response to the signings made by their rivals.

Salah would succeed at Beşiktaş, but I am not sure if a player like Van Dijk is truly needed.
Van Dijk is aging and is a defender; he is no longer as fast as he used to be and tends to become more sluggish as he gets older. If Beşiktaş wants to achieve success in the Turkish League, having a good goalkeeper—and Nübel would be an excellent choice—and a strong attacking line is key.
They had signed a player who made a good impression, like Oh-Gyu, during the mid-season break last year; however, they need a striker with the quality of Gomez or Aboubakar during their initial spells at the club.
Salah would be a fantastic addition, but I do not think Van Dijk is necessary.

We finally got rid of Tayyip. Tayyip Talha Sanuç has transferred to Çaykur Rizespor. He seemed like a player with potential, but he made critical mistakes in many important matches and was the cause of lost points. He proved he wasn't at Beşiktaş level.
It's important to let players like this go, because when they stay, they're not only a financial burden but also harm the team by misusing their playing time when given the chance. Getting rid of unnecessary players is just as important as making new signings. There are 5-6 more players like this, I hope we can let them all go this season.

Ersin Destanoğlu has also left which is good for you I think. There were some games he really shined of course but I also didn't see him at Beşiktaş level.

Some people are criticising their decision on Nübel to be their main goalkeeper. But I think he is a decent player. He had a really good season at Stuttgart last season.

He was one of top 3 goalkeepers with most clean sheets in the most number of games played in the Bundesliga.

Getting Burno Fernandes would be great for Galatasaray, no doubt about that, but would not solve their issues. As a non-turkish person, I can be neutral towards all teams, mainly fenerbahce and galatasaray because those two seems to be battling it out every year. And I do not give a damn about the referees and federation and whatever else they argue about, I watch the games while not being a fan, so it's fine for me.

I can easily tell you that it's clear that Galatasaray is getting worse, they were much better, and they were literally far away from everyone else. But last year, they focused on UCL and they were barely playing at the league. Unless they solve their defensive midfield issues, and replace Torreira or Lemina or both, then they will end up with big problems without a doubt.

Bruno Fernandes only has a few more years left in his soccer career and wants to make a lot of money now. Before I sign him and pay him 15–20 million a year, I’d rather sign a younger player, even if I have to pay a transfer fee because I’ll pay him a lower annual salary and can expect more from him in the long run.
