Galatasaray is preparing for a major squad overhaul ahead of the upcoming season, and one of its top priorities is securing a reliable replacement for long-time goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. With the Uruguayan's exit imminent, the Istanbul-based club has set its sights on a high-profile name: Ederson Moraes, current shot-stopper for Manchester City.

According to Turkish media reports, including beIN SPORTS, the club has already made initial inquiries regarding the Brazilian's availability. While no formal offer has been made, Galatasaray's intentions are clear: to sign an experienced, international-level goalkeeper on a free transfer.

Ambitious rebuild with elite targets

The pursuit of Ederson is just one part of a broader strategy. The club is also considering other top-tier goalkeepers such as Yann Sommer and Marc-André ter Stegen, though their high salaries could be a hurdle. Meanwhile, Galatasaray is planning significant reinforcements in other areas of the pitch.

One of the most high-profile names on the club’s wishlist is striker Victor Osimhen, who reportedly tops Galatasaray’s transfer list. His potential arrival would be a major boost to the attacking line and could impact other signings across the team.

In midfield, the club has its eyes on İlkay Gündoğan, currently at FC Barcelona. The German international, who has Turkish roots, is said to be open to returning to his ancestral homeland. Official talks are expected to begin once Osimhen’s future is settled.

The eternal rival also strengthens

Meanwhile, archrivals Fenerbahçe are also making moves in the transfer market. The club has confirmed the arrival of Colombian striker Jhon Durán, on loan from Al Nassr. The young forward, who played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, is aiming to shine once again in European football under José Mourinho. The team will compete in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, and fans have high hopes for the Colombian’s impact.

The battle for Turkish football dominance is heating up, with both clubs building squads with European ambitions. For Galatasaray, the potential signing of Ederson could be the first piece of an ambitious puzzle.
