Turkish giants Galatasaray set their sights on Tottenham's Heung-min Son

Galatasaray, who attracted worldwide attention with the transfer of Victor Osimhen, are preparing to add another world-famous star to their squad. The management gave full authority to Italian manager Gardi to transfer Heung-min Son, whose contract with Tottenham will end at the end of the season.

Galatasaray, who are undefeated in the Trendyol Süper Lig and UEFA Europa League, have accelerated their work for the mid-season transfer period. Cimbom's target is Tottenham's South Korean star Son.

Galatasaray, who sent Tete and Kerem Aktürkoğlu on transfers and Wilfred Zaha on loan, did not receive the expected contribution even though they transferred Roland Sallai from Freiburg to the wing position.

Cimbom’s goal is to win trophies in Europe and they aim to make star reinforcements for this purpose.

Hakim Ziyech is expected to be the last name to leave the wing rotation, where important names parted ways at the beginning of the season. Galatasaray plan to release the Moroccan player during the mid-season break.

The Moroccan star's agent is preparing to hold talks with MLS teams over his player's desire to continue his career in the United States.

The Yellow-Reds, who have Son on their agenda, whose contract with the club will end next summer, will first offer a suitable transfer fee for January. If this does not happen, they will try to add him to their squad for free at the end of the season.

The Korean star, who can play both on the wing and as a forward, will also strengthen Okan Buruk's hand in terms of squad variation.

There is a serious obstacle in front of Galatasaray, which is rolling up their sleeves for this huge operation. Son, who has a one-year option clause in his contract, will sit down with Tottenham in the coming days.

The subject of contract renewal was last on the agenda in September. However, the experienced star stated that he was not keen on a new signing. In the meantime, both the managers and his coach Postecoglou tried to convince Son.

The answer Son will give to his club will be decisive for Galatasaray's roadmap for the transfer. However, the Yellow-Reds are not following this process with their hands tied.

President Dursun Özbek has given full authority to Italian manager George Gardi regarding the Son transfer. It has been learned that a preliminary meeting will be held with the star player as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Galatasaray have a big rival in this transfer. According to some sources, Barcelona are very interested in the Son transfer. It seems that the Spanish team's involvement will put a lot of pressure on the Galatasaray front.

Heung-min Son, who last played against Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League match on November 7 at Rams Park, spoke highly of their fans after the game they lost 3-2.

The 32-year-old football player said:

"Galatasaray’s stadium had an incredible atmosphere. They have remarkable stars and passionate fans. We knew what to expect, but the defeat was still a disappointment."

In 419 games for Tottenham, he scored 165 goals and made 87 assists.
