Galatasaray is making bold moves for the January transfer window, eyeing Argentine star Paulo Dybala and Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar. With both players linked to the Turkish giants, the transfer buzz is heating up.
Could these high-profile names join the squad and strengthen Galatasaray’s push for glory?
Sitting atop the Trendyol Super Lig standings after a thrilling last-minute victory over Trabzonspor, Galatasaray is already planning for the January transfer window. Among the names on the club’s radar is Argentine star Paulo Dybala, currently playing for Roma.
Dybala’s agent meets Galatasaray
Reports confirm that Dybala’s agent, Carlos Novel, recently traveled to Istanbul and held discussions with Galatasaray representatives.
Following the meeting, Novel attended Galatasaray’s match against Trabzonspor, further fueling transfer rumors.
Galatasaray vice president confirms interest
Galatasaray Vice President Metin Ozturk spoke publicly about the club’s transfer ambitions, acknowledging their interest in Dybala. “There will definitely be players joining and leaving us during the winter transfer window,” Ozturk said.
“Decisions will be based on the recommendations of our head coach Okan Buruk and the scouting team. While I am not directly involved in football decisions, I know there are ongoing initiatives.”
Roma’s Claudio Ranieri breaks silence
Roma’s head coach Claudio Ranieri also addressed the speculation during an interview with the Italian outlet Sportmediaset. Ranieri hinted at the club’s willingness to negotiate if Dybala desires to leave.
“Everyone has their priorities,” Ranieri said. “I’m happy to have Dybala and to play him when he’s fit, but if his priorities lie elsewhere, we have to come to an understanding. I only want players who are happy to stay. However, I’ve seen no signs that Dybala wants to leave.”
What’s next for Dybala?
The 31-year-old forward, valued at €12 million ($12.59 million), remains a crucial asset for Roma. While both clubs appear to keep their options open, the final decision may rest with Dybala himself.
As Galatasaray fans eagerly await further developments, January promises to bring more clarity to this high-profile transfer story.
Galatasaray pursues Skriniar
Galatasaray is reportedly in advanced talks to sign Slovakian center-back Milan Skriniar from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
According to Fotomacthe Turkish giants have been monitoring the defender for some time and are working towards an agreement with both the player and PSG.
Loan deal speculated
The deal, if finalized, is expected to be a loan move until the end of the season. Skriniar, 29, has featured in only five matches for PSG this season.
His current contract with the French club runs until June 2028, making this potential transfer a strategic addition for Galatasaray.
Key addition to defense?
Skriniar made headlines during his time at Inter Milan, where he was signed for €34 million and saw his market value peak at €65 million.
With 77 caps and three goals for the Slovakian national team, he remains a formidable presence in defense.
Awaiting Confirmation
While no official deal has been struck, the rumors have excited Galatasaray fans, who hope to see the 1.88-meter defender in Istanbul soon. If the move materializes, it will be a significant boost to the club’s ambitions this season.
