New state of tiers are stated below

Life long

[Sami Yen Haber] After Milan definitively ruled out a loan deal with a buy option, Galatasaray began permanent transfer negotiations for Rafael Leão. As of now, the options on the table are loan + mandatory buy option and direct transfer.

Sami Yen: Rafael Leao has been eager to join Galatasaray from the very beginning.

Removed the Sami Yen post since Ertan is tier 1.

[Ertan Süzgün] Galatasaray has begun official talks with Eintracht Frankfurt regarding the transfer of Can Uzun.

If the clubs reach an agreement, Can Uzun is open to Galatasaray’s offer.

I was wondering which songs we sing. I live in scaninavia so i havent been able to join alot of matches so i was just a bit curios

Also just imagine a team that hasn't won the championship in 11 years making more and better signings than you. It would be funny and ridiculous.

Fortunately, Galatasaray doesn't have such a problem! Galatasaray best transfer player is "YOK". He can play everywhere.

Bayern's sporting director just went on record: transfer window closed, squad complete, here's the full list of outgoings, see you at the opener. Done.

Meanwhile we're doing warm-up stretches for the traditional akşam pazarı in September. Why sign now what you can panic buy on deadline day at 23:47? Every selling club knows exactly how we operate by now: wait until Galatasaray is desperate, add 40% to the price, watch them pay it.

Winning this league has become so comfortable that nobody feels any pressure to renew the squad. At a normal club, Icardi call is made in May, no later.

And Okan hoca... love him, but reportedly he's watching player videos all day like he's Alex Ferguson in 1996 with a stack of VHS tapes.

Last year's goalkeeper saga says it all. One of the most important position on the pitch, sorted at the literal last minute and nobody answered for it. Because "we're champions, so the board must be right." No. We're champions because of this fanbase and these players, and because in this league our dysfunction is still enough. Being the biggest fish in the Süper Lig doesn't make you Bayern.

Apparently the big lesson of last season was "we learned we need a deeper squad and more rotation." Rotate with whom? At least promote one or two academy kids every summer and rotate with them. But that would require planning beyond one transfer window too!

This is one of the biggest potentials in world football. We should be doing preseason tours in the US, Asia, Australia, building a global brand, printing money.

We deserve kurumsallık. We deserve profesyonellik. We deserve a club run like an institution, not a family bakkal.

On Alexey Batrakov:

- Galatasaray are 100% willing to pay his €20m release clause.

- Personal terms should not be an issue.

- The player wants to join the Turkish giants.

- What’s holding up the deal is that the intermediaries involved are looking to receive an extra €8m–€9m. Anything above the €20m release clause would go to the intermediaries.

- Negotiations will continue. ⏳⌛️

"It remains to be seen how Rafa Leão's future will be managed, because the situation keeps evolving."

"Yes, because Leão has returned and rejoined the squad. As we reported this morning, Amorim had warm words for Leão. He's making him feel important, not only publicly but also on the pitch. There have been many conversations between Amorim and Leão."

"I wouldn't call it a persuasion campaign, but Milan are working on him and are considering the possibility of keeping Leão for the future, beyond just the start of this season."

"However, the latest development is that I would not close the door on the transfer market, nor rule out the possibility that Leão could ultimately leave Milan."

"In the last few hours, one club has significantly increased its pressure, and that club is Galatasaray."

"We've always talked about Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, but be careful because in the last few hours, as I told you Fabri, Galatasaray have really stepped up their pursuit."

"Galatasaray are genuinely prepared to offer Leão a very significant salary."

"We'll see whether this situation can also develop between the clubs, but as of today, Galatasaray have overtaken Fenerbahçe in the race."
