Galatasaray is facing a challenging transfer market. The Turkish Süper Lig leaders, who finished with 77 points last season, are looking to strengthen their squad. Okan Buruk's side had targeted Johan Manzambi and Pape Gueye in the previous transfer window.

Transfer targets

Galatasaray had made a loan offer with an option to buy for Johan Manzambi to Freiburg in the previous transfer window. However, the German club was not interested due to their expectations for a higher transfer fee.

Rising costs

Johan Manzambi's value rose from 35 million Euro to 55 million Euro after his performances in the World Cup, where he scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist. Pape Gueye's value also increased from 40 million Euro to 50 million Euro after his contributions to Senegal, including 2 goals and 1 assist.
