This 2025 winter transfer window is focused on sales in Ligue 1. The main teams, PSG-OL-OM, must significantly downsize. Good news for Galatasaray which has a lot of purchases to make in France.
In recent months, the owners of French clubs have been very active in the transfer market. John Textor in Lyon, Frank McCourt in Marseille and of course PSG were the biggest spenders. This winter, time for downsizing among the big leagues in Ligue 1. OL must recover several tens of millions of euros to balance their accounts while their Parisian and Marseille rivals just want to make their locker room more manageable. There will be many good deals in France. If this kind of sale usually interests the English, it especially excites the leader of the Turkish championship this year.
Galatasaray targets 5 players in France
Galatasaray is very ambitious in the winter transfer window and is counting on Ligue 1 to gain competitiveness. The Istanbul club's first two targets were Milan Skriniar at PSG and Georges Mikautadze at OL. It doesn't stop there according to the X information account PSGInside-Act. Indeed, the Turks are targeting five players from the French championship in total, including two at Paris Saint-Germain.
The other Parisian target is none other than Randal Kolo Muani. However, the striker abandoned by Luis Enrique would have declined the Turkish proposal. Galatasaray is also pressing OM for Amine Harit, the Moroccan having lost the confidence of Roberto de Zerbi this season. The reigning Turkish champion also has his sights set on Toulouse's Zakaria Aboukhlal and Nice's Pablo Rosario. Enough to deeply strengthen the squad led by Okan Buruk if everything is concluded. Kolo Muani and Mikautadze seem difficult to reach but there is hope for the other three names on the list.
