After selling Ederson to Fenerbahçe, Manchester City signed Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG for €35 million.
Last night, Fenerbahçe completed the transfers of Asensio and Ederson. Ederson arrived in Istanbul today for the signing.
Galatasaray signed Uğurcan Çakır from Trabzonspor for €26.5 million.
In addition, they brought İlkay Gündoğan from Manchester City to Istanbul today to finalize his transfer.
These days Turkish teams are feeling a lot more like Arabic teams but in Europe. They do play in UCL, but they are overpaying for players. I am not saying sort of like Arabic teams in the sense that they are spending a lot of money, because there are many teams that spend a lot, I mean that in overspending kind of way. Like this goalkeeper, I have never heard before, and they are paying him 30 million? That's just throwing money away. I never remembered them begin this rich, when did they became so rich that they could have a 150+ million spending season on transfer?
These teams were the teams that spent like 10-20 a year usually, how did they get so rich suddenly? In any case, after spending all this much money, they better do great. Fenerbahce has managerial issues so far, they need a good one, but Galatasaray has consistency and a great team and spent this much, so they have no excuse, they have to win the league and be in the top 24 of UCL if they want this money to mean something.
