Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

If they're going to make these moves, now is the time, because they have to start somewhere with the transfers.

50 million for Leao, for me, for what he gave in Serie A and to Milan last season, is excessive. One rightly doesn't just look at last year's performance, because one knows the potential of Leao as he is. The problem is that you have to hope that once he comes to you in the club, he doesn't go back to having that superficial game but that he brings out, as they say, his attributes.

Reports suggest that Fenerbahçe has reached a verbal agreement with Lukaku. The 33-year-old Lukaku came off the bench during the World Cup and scored some fine goals.
A player whose style resembles that of Vedat, he spent the past year dealing with injuries.
If he has fully recovered from his injury, he would be an asset to Fenerbahçe.
The Turkish league is one where physical strength plays a key role, and Lukaku is the type of player who would really trouble opposing defenses.
However, if he were to suffer further injury issues, it would be a major disappointment for Fenerbahçe.

Last season we saw the player's injury problems, which was a negative aspect for Napoli. Basically, last season many of Napoli's key players were suffering from injury problems, one of which was Romelu Lukaku. If he does not have any injury problems in the upcoming season and gets the opportunity to play the whole season, then he is going to be a great asset for Fenerbahçe. However, it is still difficult to say whether this transfer rumor will turn into a contract.

The player is also interested in Atalanta United and some clubs in Saudi Arabia, but the talks with Fenerbahçe are now the talk of social media. Although he has another year of contract at Napoli, Napoli are now said to be ready to sell him. Let's see where his final destination is.

Galatasaray and Porto are close to reaching an agreement on the loan transfer of Rodrigo Mora. This provides an alternative if the offer for Alexsey Batrakov doesn't materialize. Furthermore, if the Batrakov transfer goes through and the offer is accepted, will Mora's loan be cancelled? However, even if a positive outcome is reached for Batrakov, the Mora transfer might still continue depending on the circumstances.

The club may not want to invest in players of the same profile in the same position and will evaluate the situation according to the transfer process.

If I were a Galatasaray fan I would like to have a strong winger like Leao honestly. Noa Lang's loan spell has ended. I don't find the alternatives good enough currently thinking of the Champions League too.

I'm not that sure about Salah to have an intention to stay at Liverpool any longer. Because he had some personal issues with Arne Slot there last season.

This even caused him to start playing less as a starter. But his performance also dropped a lot of course so he kind of deserved that. 

Obviously for a player like Leao he can make the difference, the problem is being able to bring out that hunger, that desire to make a difference that has always made him look at him with the eyes of someone who doesn't appreciate what he has. Leao is a player with gigantic potential, but which he never actually wanted to exploit.

I just don't understand why we are about to sign Lukaku currently. I haven't seen a more injury prone player than him recently. He was injured like the whole season last year.

We will pay him probably around €10m per year. This is like the worst kind of a deal we could have made with Napoli. I don't expect him to be healthy for a significant part of this season either. As a Fenerbahçe fan I'm totally against this transfer.

There's only one week left until the league starts and Galatasaray is still the quietest team. The fans are upset and asking where the transfers are.

Is Batrakov really as good a player as people say? There are both positive and negative comments about him, the fans are split down the middle. From what I can tell, this isn't the case with Mora, the majority of fans don't want him. They think the management needs to sign a better player and I fully agree.
A club that has won the championship 4 seasons in a row and earned Champions League revenue every season should have made some solid signings by now. Where did all that money go? Or did they fail to prepare a budget for the new season because they were still paying off previous transfers?

dropping 10–15M on a 32 year old Muriqi was crazy and paying a fee for Lukaku at 33 is just insane. having your two strikers' combined age top 60–65 is total madness...

The fans are waiting, time is running out, and there’s still no word from management. That’s what I find interesting. Since the summer began, we haven’t even heard any rumors, aside from a few names that keep coming up. I’m starting to wonder if they actually have a plan in mind or if the team is just going to sit this transfer window out quietly.

Even the names we’ve heard aren’t at all satisfying compared to the transfers made by the rest of the league. If a team that’s won the league four times in a row and competes in the Champions League isn’t going to make transfers, then who will?

[meser#]

I watched the Galatasaray vs. Villarreal match. Galatasaray will manage to secure wins in the league one way or another and improve over time; they are good enough for the Turkish league, but certainly not for the Champions League.
If they continue like this, they will suffer heavy defeats in the Champions League.
Their midfield is very poor.
Backup goalkeeper Jankat played very well in this match, yet he will be the third-choice goalkeeper in the league.
The fans chanted, urging the management to make new signings.
I thought Galatasaray looked very poor.

[m4r1o]

We still haven't made a proper transfer for a long time. The new season is starting soon. We should finish our necessary transfers before the end of August. We needed to sign a number 10 as well and I guess Aleksey Batrakov is about to be signed for that.

I would like to say i are sorry but that's not the case. For me Leao, as well as for many other people, is a player who should not be taken as an example. He is a player with enormous potential, but who never had the real desire and hunger to become the player he could become. For this reason i admire his abilities, but i don't respect him as a player who has had the opportunity to play at these levels, therefore giving an evaluation beyond his real value seems exaggerated to me.

i really liked Villarreal. they changed the whole team in the second half but the substitutes still played the exact same smooth, seamless football.

Göztepe and Trabzonspor faced off in İsmail Köybaşı's farewell match, but it didn't go well at all for Trabzonspor. Their new signing Saviolo got injured and his condition could be serious. Folcarelli had also been injured in another pre-season match. Trabzonspor is already suffering setbacks before the season has even started. Just when it seemed they were putting together a strong roster, this could set them back than other contenders.

The team didn't look great in this friendly but they'll improve as they play together. Players like Aral, Cabral and Mitongo are new to the squad. We'll be able to make a clearer assessment after a few more games. Also we haven't seen Salah on the field yet. We don't know if he'll be playing against Kasımpaşa in the first week. First few weeks won't be easy.

[Balmain]

This was Galatasaray's last preseason friendly. Lemina needed to control his hands better when sliding; he could have reacted, even though it was a friendly, it was a big mistake while defending. Because of this, Galatasaray started 1-0 down in the second minute. Then Osimhen immediately responded. Osimhen looked very much in form and will do well this season. The match felt like an official game. Villarreal also played well, and the match ended 2-1, with Villarreal winning their preseason friendly.

Leao is a player with gigantic potential, but which he never actually wanted to exploit.

With such a potential from Raphael Leo, am utterly disappointed that he has not still lived up to his potential, but rather he is still playing like a teenager that is still developing his game, because if he had work harder on improving his game, he could single handedly take this Ac Milan team to places, so am not surprised that no top team are going for him because his attitude towards putting in the work is purely garbage, and at this point, his career is gradually declining which should not have been so if he had work diligently and grown up before now. Going to Galatasaray is not entirely a bad move, but for a player with such quality going that direction makes me sick and utterly disappointed.

Galatasaray has been poorly managed lately. They’re having a terrible transfer window even though the fans aren’t expecting any star players outside of the number 10 position. As far as I’m concerned, the fans would be satisfied even if the new signing were just a player to add to the rotation.

As for the preseason match, it was yet another game that offered no hope for Galatasaray. The players look glum, they’re frustrated, and the fans are unhappy. This is actually a good thing everyone is aware of how dire the situation is. At least there’s no attitude of indifference or apathy. Thanks to this disastrous soccer, we at least saw that Jankat is a good goalkeeper. Because the defense was so poor, Jankat had to deal with every kind of situation.

[changaa]

Fans in our country look forward to new signings every year. But where does Galatasaray actually need reinforcements? Should transfers be made simply because the fans want them? Leao might be a good player, but Galatasaray doesn't need him.
Paying him a 10-million-euro salary and a transfer fee exceeding 40 million euros would be a waste of money. Galatasaray has a strong squad; they are the champions of the last four years.
Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, on the other hand, are trying to strengthen their teams through transfers because the quality of their current squads is insufficient.

The Süper Lig will be fiercely competitive this season. This time, we certainly won't fall out of the title race by November.

Galatasaray remains the strongest team and the team to beat in the Turkish Super Lig. But other teams, such as Fenerbahce and Besiktas, are strengthening a lot. So we will also have to pay close attention to these two tough opponents, because they could be this year's surprise.

Galatasaray doesn't give green light to new season. That's very clear! They have got horrible results in friendlies. Maybe one can say they aren't official season matches but still it gives one some idea about how the first half of the season can go.

They still haven't completed their transfers while the league is about to start in a week. The chairman Dursun Özbek still looks so confident of himself but I don't think this season will be like the recent ones. Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş look better currently.

Torreira, who serves as Galatasaray's insurance in midfield is physically exhausted right now...
as a result, Galatasaray is constantly forced to play by bypassing the midfield meaning they keep throwing long balls directly from the defense to the third zone. if the opposing team anticipates this and prepares for it, they easily pick up the second balls and initiate transition attacks.

In the seasons before Galatasaray wasted a lot of money on transfers and i think this is the season where they will save some money and not bring many players or big names. I think this might be the baddest season for them yet because they arent looking that well and are in need of some quality player and the transfer window is o most over. Currently all the other big teams are buying like crazy and buying really quality players,so i think this season will be really close and i honestly dont know who can win the title in Turkey.

Lukaku is one of the players I admire very much if only he didn't have injury problems, then even €20 million would be worth it.
€10 million is a wasted investment for a player who is constantly getting injured; it's really not worth it, a waste of money. Maybe the club knows something, they've spoken to the doctors thoroughly and know that his condition is very good, but I still doubt it. We shouldn't ignore the possibility that detailed medical checks have been done, the doctors' reports have been reviewed, and they may have obtained some positive data that we are unaware of.
