Galatasaray, riding high on its recent domestic and European successes, is finalizing an upgraded contract for its rising star Yunus Akgun. The young talent, who has attracted interest from major European clubs, is expected to sign a new deal soon.
As the January transfer window approaches, Galatasaray is working diligently on internal reinforcements. Among the priorities is securing the future of Yunus Akgun, a standout performer whose current salary is considered modest given his impact on the field.
Akgun’s agent has been in talks with the club for weeks. Following his stunning goal against Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League, the 23-year-old has become a key focus for the club’s management.
Details of new agreement
According to reports from Fanatik from Türkiye, the club and Akgun’s camp have reached a preliminary agreement.
The new contract is set to extend his current deal, which runs until 2026, by two more years, keeping him at Galatasaray until 2028.
Massive salary boost on horizon
Akgun, who currently earns ₺17.2 million (approximately $530,000), will see his annual salary jump significantly to ₺55 million (around $1.6 million).
This move signals Galatasaray’s intent to retain homegrown talents and ward off interest from European giants.
Official announcement imminent
An agreement in principle, has been reached, and an official announcement is expected in the coming days.
Akgun’s progression from the Galatasaray academy to becoming one of the Super Lig’s brightest stars has been nothing short of remarkable.
Galatasaray’s winning strategy
