Galatasaray are seriously interested in Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen. He still has 3.5 years contract but Galatasaray have huge budget for this transfer. They also want Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge for left back position.
It looks like they will get good money from sales of players this Summer. They want 35 million Euro for Barış Alper. Yunus Akgün also has 11 million Euro minimum fee release clause, so any team can activate this clause in the Summer. They may upgrade their transfer budget this way.

It looks like Galatasaray is getting ready for busy summer of buying and selling players. They are very interested in Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen which is surprising because he still has contract with his current team. But Galatasaray has a lot of money to spend so they might offer him good deal to join their team. They are also trying to sign Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge to play left back which shows they want to improve their team in many areas. If they can sell players like Barış Alper and Yunus Akgün they will have even more money to spend on new players this summer.

I think it’s good that Galatasaray are actively working on upgrading its squad and increasing its competitiveness. Signing De Cuyper will not be easy, Galatasaray might face strong competition for his signature. Galatasaray's interest in Xhaka is notable, though given his age, I think this transfer may not be the smartest move for both parties, especially since he could opt for the Saudi Pro League where he could play in a less competitive environment and still collect high salary wage.
