Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[satscraper]

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...

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.

I'm on your side here. There is no need for Galatasaray to pay virtually a fortune for Bruno Fernandes as they are already the strongest team inTurkish Super League and will remain in such state for the coming season. They should only worry about keeping Osimhen with them for as long as possible. ^{It seems that rumors about his transfer have calmed down a little.}

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...

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.

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.

You are right about the players you mentioned; they win the championship every year.
Transfer offers might come in for Davinson Sanchez.
Sanchez might even leave the team.
I think Galatasaray has lagged behind in terms of transfers so far.

A story came out yesterday... As far as I know, Fenerbahçe wanted to sign Leao. It is said that Galatasaray has also entered the race for him. In this scenario, whichever team signs him will have to pay a higher fee. If the financial difference isn't huge, the player might choose Galatasaray, as the Champions League is a major factor.

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.

This is just the problem in being a free transfer because if Mo Salah was to have a running contract and Beşiktaş come for him, they would have accepted to raise the deal but they said they can't go above €40 million for a 2 years contract. Beşiktaş has already said they won't go further than that which means that the transfer is unlikely to happen and now Salah is now considering a move to the MLS or the Saudi League.

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 don't even understand Galatasaray in their preseason games, yesterday they suffered a 3:0 lost to Venezia and made me lose my bet on them. Hope Fenerbahce is now prepared for the new season so that they can lift the Turkish Super League title since they couldn't win it last season.

Başakşehir have signed Skov Olsen on loan. There's also a purchase option. He played against us while he was at Club Brugge. I've liked him ever since. His stints at Wolfsburg and Rangers didn't go very well, he didn't get much playing time for most of the season. But he's a player whose quality we know and he's still young. I expected him to have a bigger breakthrough, but it didn't happen and now his path has led him here. I think Başakşehir is a great choice for him as well. I believe he'll be in the starting 11 here and play in as many matches as he did during his time at Brugge. Who knows, maybe he'll put in a strong performance here and receive offers from major leagues again.

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.

The biggest problem is that it will be a high-cost transfer for Fenerbahçe. Because Milan is demanding a high transfer fee for him. It is highly unlikely that Fenerbahçe can meet this transfer fee. Negotiations are underway, but Fenerbahçe can only offer up to a certain limit. They already spent a large sum of money on Greenwood this year. I don't think they will pay a similarly high fee for the Portuguese star. They also need to maintain their team balance.

If the Rafael Leão transfer goes through, it will be very expensive for Fenerbahçe. But when you think about having Leão and Mason Greenwood on the wings, I think it would be worth it.
Their right and left flanks would be incredibly strong, and Fenerbahçe would become a team that shouldn't struggle to score goals.
I'm in favor of this transfer. If it happens, I think we'll see a much more competitive league this season.

If possible, this transfer would be excellent for Fenerbahçe. Because with such strong wingers and Marco Asensio behind the striker, the team is more than capable of competing in the Süper Lig. I even think they could qualify for the Champions League with this squad. They could even reach the last 24 teams in the Champions League. However, this transfer is very expensive, so it needs to be carefully considered and calculated.

Reports that Rafael Leao is open to a move to Fenerbahçe could be exciting for fans. Fenerbahçe's financial power is certainly sufficient to make such a transfer happen, but the important thing is not just being able to do it, but doing it under the right conditions. Even for a player with undeniable talent like Leao, the club needs to act cautiously, use its bargaining power, and think long-term.

[ingiltere]

It seems Fenerbahçe needs time. İsmail Kartal needs to realize that this is a new era. This team is different now from what it was in his previous era. Greenwood has arrived and so has Muriqi. If Leao joins as well, the attacking rotation will be very different. Talisca continues to score goals. Fenerbahçe now has a stronger attacking force than last season. However they need to work a bit more on their defensive issues and on breaking down tight defenses.

I am loving the energy that Fenerbahce is putting in this transfer window, they're seriously trying to maximise this opportunity and it's good and an evidence that they're ready to challenge Galatasaray in a tougher manner in the coming season. Having secured Mason Greenwood's signature and now leading the way in Rafael Laeo's possible exit from AC Milan, the board is getting it very right this time. I like Rafael Laeo's talent and he's a very good winger who causes threats to any defence. His performance in the world cup could have been a possible point of attraction for teams like Galatasaray, Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce. Young talents who are real and plays football with ease don't easily come by which is why Fenerbahce should be more keen to close the deal even if it entails negotiating fairly with the AC Milan's €50 to 70 million asking price. I will love to see Leao play alongside Mason Greenwood.

I don't know how accurate the report is, but yesterday there were posts on social media stating that Leao and Galatasaray had reached an agreement on financial terms.
In any case, if Galatasaray gets involved, Leao would likely choose them; after all, they are competing in the Champions League and have Osimhen on the squad.
Given these factors, it would be very difficult for Fenerbahçe to sign him.
Unless they offer 3–4 million euros more than Galatasaray, the transfer might not happen; otherwise, we can pretty much say Leao is heading to Galatasaray.

Indeed. Fenerbahçe really needs some more time to start playing effectively. Maybe they don't struggle with producing dangerous attacks. But they just can't score easily. This was nearly causing them to get eliminated yesterday.  

They need a real striker immediately. Vedat Muriqi is still injured. Will they sign another forward meanwhile? Additionally I agree that their defense looked poor as well last night. But I guess it's due to lacking match condition.

[karabiber]

İsmail Kartal is trying something, but I haven’t quite figured out what it is. It was a really interesting choice to move Musaba to center forward and keep Greenwood on the wing after the substitution. Some might think of Greenwood solely as a winger, but he has played as a center forward many times during his time at Manchester United.

He’s a player who was actually developed as a forward in the youth system. The reason he’s been used more on the right wing with the first team was due to the squad’s structure. Otherwise, he’s a player who stands out for his finishing ability in the penalty area. If Musaba is really moving to center forward and Greenwood is staying on the wing, you can’t help but wonder, “Does İsmail Kartal know how many times Greenwood played up front at ManU?” I hope this is just a one-game decision. Otherwise, with this mindset and the overall approach to the game, the season is going to be a tough one.

[jakdanyel]

İsmail Kartal probably hasn't watched Greenwood so much during the transfer process. He will probably continue to experiment with him until he finds a good fit in his mind.

Greenwood has played as a right winger the most in his whole career. He was used there by Marseille as well nearly all the time and he contributed highly there in terms of G/A.

So I believe he should be playing as right winger not İrfan Can...

Greenwood hasn't really settled into the team yet and didn't have a proper pre season, so he isn't fully match fit. but still he put on a great performance for 60 minutes imo.

I think he'll gradually give Greenwood his proper position. Greenwood had a very effective season on the right wing, and he was the same in Spain. The Fenerbahçe manager is currently trying to get to know the team. We know from the past that he wants to play some Turkish players. I hope he doesn't play such an important player in the wrong position because of İrfan Can. İrfan Can can be his backup, but considering his performance last year and the money paid to him, the right wing should belong to Greenwood.

I think İsmail Kartal is more successful at managing Turkish players. It’s often said that local coaches are more successful in the league, but I think that applies to local players as well.

It’s normal to try out different tactics in matches before the season starts, but I think everyone will play in their natural positions once the season is underway.

[KingsDen]

I'm on your side here. There is no need for Galatasaray to pay virtually a fortune for Bruno Fernandes as they are already the strongest team inTurkish Super League and will remain in such state for the coming season. They should only worry about keeping Osimhen with them for as long as possible. ^{It seems that rumors about his transfer have calmed down a little.}

I don't think Bruno Fernades will even agree to move to any of these leagues, he has worked so hard for many seasons in order to play Champions league football with United, and also win a trophy with them. I don't think he will be willing to leave now.
Meanwhile, the two leagues mentioned here are not too competitive for a player like Bruno.

You made mention that Galatasaray will remain the strongest team for the coming season, I don't think so. Have you gone through the quality players Fenerbahçe has signed already, and are still wanting to sign?. Fenerbahçe is the team I see competing with Galatasaray next season, they will make things hard for Galatasaray compared to the previous seasons.

I also think that after the season starts, every player will play in their best position. Because the coach is the one who knows this best. I'm sure he will talk to the player and ask them which position they feel comfortable playing in. Ismail Kartal, despite accumulating very high scores for Fenerbahçe in the past, ended up finishing second. However, everyone generally liked the style of play he implemented. He returned to Fenerbahçe with the new president and is trying many different combinations in these matches. I think this is quite normal in this period as well.

for sure they'll have a hard time this season...

I have heard about a statement by Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek. He said that he knew what he was doing just like last year. It looks like he doesn't want to rush their transfers.

On the other hand there are so many sources telling that Galatasaray is also in the race for Rafael Leao. It is really annoying to hear for a Fenerbahçe fan. We were getting close to signing him and now I hope Aziz Yıldırım doesn't let it slip through his fingers.
