Galatasaray heads to Italy! Moves for two transfers

While charging ahead in both the Champions League and the Super League, Galatasaray is also preparing for the January transfer window. Determined to strengthen its squad, the Yellow-Reds' priority is to sign a striker and a midfielder, with candidates already identified.

Acting in line with head coach Okan Buruk's requests, Galatasaray's management has set its sights on Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman as its first target... Moreover, just as Cim Bom was preparing to make its move, a major crisis erupted involving the Nigerian footballer.

Lookman, who got into a fight with his coach Juric during the Champions League match against Marseille, has completely ruled out Atalanta, where he was already planning to leave. Italian newspapers are certain that Ademola Lookman will part ways with the club during the winter transfer window. The altercation also suggests that the 28-year-old striker could leave Atalanta at a much lower cost than expected. Galatasaray officials are preparing to travel to Italy to seize the opportunity presented by Lookman, who has given the green light to Cim Bom.

Galatasaray's other target from Serie A is Zambo Anguissa. The 29-year-old player, who has recently become indispensable in Napoli's midfield, was eagerly awaiting contract negotiations with his club. According to reports in yesterday's edition of Corriere dello Sport, there is a huge gap between the two sides' expectations. Napoli is not even close to meeting Anguissa's demands.

The Yellow-Reds are determined to turn this crisis into an opportunity. Anguissa's transfer will also be on the table during the trip to Italy for Lookman. Thus, following Osimhen, another negotiation process will begin between Galatasaray and Napoli. Galatasaray, which currently has 10 foreign players in its squad, does not need to send any players away to make these transfers.
