Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

It doesn't look like Galatasaray will have much of a shot at the championship this season   While they were losing 3-0 to Venezia, Fenerbahçe was close to signing Leao.

Fenerbahçe has already made a ton of signings so far and continues to add to the roster. Aziz Yıldırım is really living up to his role as president.

Okan's job is extremely tough this year in three competitions with this squad. imo at least five signings are essential.
two central midfielders an 8 and a 10, one left sided center back, one striker and a winger...

It looks like the Salah transfer isn't happening for Beşiktaş. Because even though they have managed to convince his agent for a lower commission fee this time there is a problem with image rights.

Salah's side is asking for too much on that. Beşiktaş found their demands too much in the end and probably they wouldn't be able to finalize this deal.

Galatasaray are losing their friendlies one by one. They couldn't even score in their last 2 matches. Indeed their squad is lacking players in various positions now which is good news for me as a Fenerbahçe fan.

I didn't see any interesting talks about Galatasaray transfers too. There were some rumours but no real move or deal being discussed at least.
I read about the intention to bring Bruno Fernandes, I suppose the odds to see him joining Al-Nassr with his friend Cristiano Ronaldo are higher than joining Galatasaray which is not even trying to discuss with him. Jamal Musiala rumour was denied. David Neres from Napoli, Tijjani Reijnders from Milan and Can Uzun are other names on the list of the management but nothing is concluded yet. The time before closure is short and Galatasaray will pay hard not consolidating their team.

Galatasaray still has a really good squad and good players,they maybe didnt bring some big names or much new players but they still have some big names. They dont need a striker they got Osimhen that is still a top level striker and if they keep him he will do big things again in all competitions.

Still this season will be harder to win due to Fenerbahce and Besiktas getting some big names and some really good players. I dont think Galatasaray needs 7-8 new players i just think they need 2-3 players to complete their squad

This may be the end of Galatasaray winning two consecutive league title, this is unlike them in preseason friendly matches, Galatasaray cannot work in this way to compete for the Turkish League title, such match outcomes isn't placing them anywhere the league favorites, they may end up second place or third, if they don't work on it before the season begins.

Galatasaray will also play in the Champions League, the team needs serious and quick improvement before time.

[MK-74]

I still think Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş both have defensive issues.

Fenerbahçe signed Nathan Aké, but how much will they actually be able to rely on him? He's a player who has struggled with consistency and injuries, and I don't think they can get through the entire season and their European campaign depending on him.

As for Beşiktaş, I don't think they have a truly elite defender at the back. They don't have a player of the caliber of Milan Škriniar or Davinson Sánchez.

In my opinion, both Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are much stronger in attack than they are in defense.

Is there any other team that has won the championship 4 years in a row but had its president called upon to resign before the new season even started?
When I look at X, I see the hashtag Dursun Özbek Resign as trending. The reason is that they were late in making transfers. I couldn't tell if it was funny or tragicomic.

It's right to strengthen the roster, every fan wants to see new stars. But they're already good, that's why they've won back-to-back titles. I don't think the fans' frenzy over uncompleted transfers is normal. By the way I don't think they will win it 5th time. This year won't be their year.

Galatasaray fans have always been impatient. After the club signed Osimhen, the fans want more. They should be a little more patient. After all, the club is working to build a good team for the Champions League, and as you said, it's a team that has been champions for years. Although the lack of transfers so far and the absence of good transfers have disappointed me, I am waiting patiently. Opening a hashtag like that in X was completely unnecessary the season hasn't even started yet.

Galatasaray generally doesn’t perform well in preseason matches. The results from previous years were no different. In these preseason matches, they’ve been unable to score at all. However, since Galatasaray leaves transfers until the last minute, the team doesn’t settle into a rhythm until after the league starts. In this match, we saw neither an offensive nor a defensive system. There was no defined game plan. They didn’t attempt to pull players off the line or slip them through the gaps. There were no wall passes or quick passes, and they didn’t even consider early crosses or using the central channel. It felt like a match played without any real strategy.

[execijutiere]

Acun Ilıcalı is having his team play a preseason match against Turkish teams, and that actually works out well for him. They managed to beat Konyaspor 3-0 in their first preseason match, and now they’ll face ÇAYKUR Rizespor. Rizespor is one of the teams that had a strong transfer window, but I don’t think they have what it takes to beat Hull City in a preseason match. Three days after this match, they’ll face Hull City in Kasımpaşa.We'll see for ourselves how Hull City, the newcomer to the Premier League, performs against our teams. Acun Ilıcalı is truly a lucky man, and thanks to his luck, he managed to get his team into the Premier League.

while fenerbahçe spent huge money on mid season transfers, galatasaray claimed they were saving their funds for the new season 
Icardi and Mertens bailed GS out in the first two seasons and Osimhen saved them last year.
for sure they'll have a hard time this season...

[emrecemsan]

The constant changing of rules is also frustrating. After the match-fixing saga, the leagues started, and just five or six weeks later, we were suddenly faced with this "Play-off" system (I might be off on the exact timing).
You don't see things like that in Europe. One rule this year, another the next—come on, is that any way to run a system?
Just set a rule: you have a maximum allowance of 14 foreign players. Forget about age limits—under-20s, over-20s—and just let clubs do whatever they want.

I agree with it completely. The foreign player rule is changing so often in Turkey. I'm pretty sure that Super League teams are also not happy with this situation. 

They should absolutely have a fixed rule and use it for long years. In this way teams can make their plans much easier for future seasons.

But I don't have much hope about this. I think they won't ever do it unless people who really care about Turkish football become TFF president.

How much Galatasaray already pays for players salary? It must be already more than Fenerbahçe and Besiktas for example. Without this year's transfers. They already have a good roster. They might lack some positions but they will probably fill up those vacancies soon, or at least before the summer is over. So, asking the resignation of the president is crazy to me. They literally won everything in Türkiye they could. And four years championship is something fans shouldn't forget, obviously. And still, chances of other teams winning the title over Galatasaray is very weak. Also, previous years they spent enormously for the transfer fees, they already spent like worth of years. I really don't agree with impatient mentality of the fans.

Galatasaray management was slow with transfers this year, but there is no rule stating that new signings must be made every single season; they already have a strong squad. Icardi has left, so perhaps a backup striker could be brought in to replace him, but apart from that, all their positions are solid.
Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe did not have strong squads.
At Galatasaray, Osimhen alone accounts for 50% of the team's strength. They have a good goalkeeper. Although they lost all their pre-season matches, they played well against Venezia; however, many players currently lack match fitness. Aside from that, Galatasaray remains a very strong team.

After Beşiktaş withdrew from the Salah negotiations yesterday, false reports began surfacing in the media today. I think Salah's agent is presenting old news as if it were new. They've brought up Trabzonspor's offer from 2 months ago as if it were brand new. Right now no club can top Beşiktaş's offer, yet the agent is trying to drive up the price even though he has no leverage. I hope Beşiktaş management don't take a step back from their current position. There are things more important than money. If you give a player everything, the others will demand the same, they must not make compromises.

[MK-74]

Fenerbahçe have opened negotiations with AC Milan for Rafael Leão.
Fenerbahçe are trying to sign Leão on a permanent transfer.
Their main task now is to convince both AC Milan and Leão to agree to the deal.
According to reports, Milan are asking for a €60 million transfer fee, while Fenerbahçe have offered €40 million.
Fenerbahçe are also expected to hold talks with Leão in an attempt to reach a personal agreement.

I think the same as you on that. Salah's agent is absolutely playing a role in these news related to Trabzonspor resurfacing. I don't think the deal between Beşiktaş and him will be completed as long as his agent asks for too much.

When I first heard about him to join the Turkish league I got even surprised. Because I was feeling quite sure about him to go to Saudi Arabia instead. Because his last season performance didn't look like he would stay in Europe from now on.

[lodocus]

Some accounts have already started reporting that Fenerbahçe’s signing of Leao is a done deal. If they’re writing this before the transfer has actually taken place, that’s a bad situation because agents might try to drive up the price after seeing these reports. It’s said that Leao is open to playing in the Turkish league, which I think is quite normal since so many players from around the world are now playing here.

[Varnquister]

ÇAYKUR Rizespor lost 2-1 to Hull City. In my opinion, ÇAYKUR Rizespor was undoubtedly the better team, but we have to say they struggled to score in the match. Hull City managed to secure the victory in the preseason match by scoring two goals between the 56th and 58th minutes. Rizespor didn’t look too bad, though—at least they weren’t as bad as Konyaspor—and they did manage to score against Hull City. It’s just a preseason match, of course, but these games need to be taken a bit more seriously.

ok galatasaray's squad is undeniably high quality but there is a serious level of mental fatigue. Torreira, Lemina, Sara, Sanche and Apokerim are all suffering from mental exhaustion.
Because of this, galatasaray struggled seriously in the final matches of the season and showed an inconsistent performance. now gs management is ignoring this issue but team urgently needs fresh energy imo.
