La Liga
Galatasaray has entered strongly into the race for one of the most established goalkeepers in European football: Marc-André ter Stegen. After finalizing the signing of Leroy Sané, who decided to leave Bayern Munich, the Istanbul team now aims to strengthen its goalkeeping position following the departure of Fernando Muslera. The Turkish club wants to continue bolstering its squad with top-level players and has focused its attention on the goalkeeper from FC Barcelona.
As reported by Sport, Galatasaray has already submitted a formal proposal to both the player's environment and the Barcelona club. The offer would include an annual salary of 5 million euros net for Ter Stegen, slightly less than what he currently earns at Barça but could be attractive in a project where he is considered a key player.
The Turks try to acquire him at a low cost
The Turkish entity's intention is to negotiate with the Catalan club for a possible low-cost transfer or, alternatively, a loan with a purchase option. Despite no clear signs from Camp Nou about wanting to part ways with the German international, the emergence of Joan García has raised doubts about the current first-choice goalkeeper's medium-term role.
In Istanbul, they are confident that the signings of figures like Sané, and the real possibility of incorporating Ilkay Gündogan, may tempt Ter Stegen to join an ambitious project with European aspirations. For now, the goalkeeper remains firm in his intention to stay in Barcelona, but Galatasaray's interest is serious and could mark one of the most surprising moves of the upcoming summer transfer window.
