Galatasaray is on all fronts. At the top of the Turkish championship with 8 lengths ahead of Fenerbahçe, the Istanbul club is coming off a new victory (2-1) against Goztepe on the 18th day. Well launched in the quest for a new title on the national scene, Okan Buruk's troops could, despite everything, take advantage of this summer window to strengthen themselves. With this in mind and at a time when Victor Osimhen remains coveted by many European teams, the Cimbom management is working on several files. Among them, the name of Milan Skriniar comes up repeatedly.

The Skriniar priority
Pushed towards the exit by Paris Saint-Germain, the former Inter Milan player could quickly sail towards new horizons. In recent days, the Galatasaray board has returned to the charge to secure the services of the 29-year-old Slovak. PhotoMatch affirmed, in this sense, that the coach, Okan Buruk, and the sporting director, Abdullah Kavukcu, had traveled to Europe and more precisely to Milan in Italy in order to move things forward. If a loan is under study and an agreement between the Turkish club and the player has already been announced, it now remains to be seen whether the different parties will find common ground, at a time when Juve is also pushing for the Parisian defender. But that's not all.
In addition to the defensive sector – where other avenues are also being studied – Galatasaray also intends to attract offensive profiles. With this in mind, Sky Germany recently revealed that discussions were currently taking place with a certain Paulo Dybala. Today in the colors of AS Roma, the 31-year-old Argentinian is thus coveted even if the Istanbul team has set price limits and informed the Roman club. A loan is also being considered here too and this possible arrival remains dependent on the departure of certain players. At the same time, Cimbom is also one of the candidates declared in the burning Randal Kolo Muani issue. A complex operation.

Dybala and Kolo Muani in the sights, Sangaré also targeted
Losing momentum in the City of Lights, the French international is indeed attracting a lot of attention. From AC Milan to Chelsea, as we revealed to you, via Manchester United, Juve or even RB Leipzig, the Bondynois leaves no one indifferent. To complete this prestigious list, Galatasaray is also carefully monitoring the situation of… Leroy Sané. At the end of his contract next June, the 28-year-old German could soon leave Bayern Munich. Aware of its contractual situation and determined to strike a blow, Galatasaray is already on the lookout.
Therefore, if Sané decides to leave Bavaria and/or the negotiations around an extension fail, the yellow and red management will not hesitate to speed up the process. Distrust, however, because the person concerned has, until now, assured that he feels good with Munich and would consider Premier League clubs as a priority option in the event of departure. Finally, Galatasaray is interested in a less prestigious but equally serious track. According to the Turkish media SuchMamadou Sangaré, currently in the jersey of Rapid Vienna in Austria, would also be part of the shortlist. During the match between Rapid Vienna and Istanbul Basaksehir on October 2 in the Europa Conference League, Cimbom sent emissaries.

Followed for several months, the 22-year-old Malian midfielder who played for Red Bull Salzburg could therefore offer himself a new challenge in the coming days. Estimated at 4.5 million euros, the 1m81 left-hander would thus strengthen the midfield of the Turkish club, which can already rely on the prowess of Dries Mertens, Lucas Torreira and Gabriel Sara to not quote them. It now remains to be seen how much Galatasaray, sixth in the Europa League after six days, will be ready to spend, as they are still playing on all sides this season.
