Galatasaray has started planning early for the January transfer window. The club, sitting second in the Süper Lig with 13 points from 6 games, is targeting two midfielders and one centre-back based on a report prepared by technical director Okan Buruk.
The club's management aims to act early to avoid repeating the delayed transfer activity of last summer. The plan involves establishing early contact with targeted players to prevent process issues. Enes Turan stated, "Galatasaray has started its work early for the January transfer period."
Recent performances have highlighted areas in the squad that need reinforcement. The team's form in the last five matches reads LWLWW, following a heavy 4-0 defeat to Trabzonspor. These results prompted criticism from some fans directed at the management.
While preparing for the interim period, the management is also mindful of the disappointment after the 2-2 draw with Arca Çorum FK at RAMS Park in the league's opening week. An important test ahead of the window is the home fixture against 8th-placed Kasımpaşa on 9 October.
Galatasaray's January plans are built around entering the second half of the season with a stronger squad to consolidate its position in the title race.
