Galatasaray are setting their sights on Argentina’s 2022 World Cup winner, Paulo Dybala, following Mauro Icardi’s injury setback.
With Icardi’s situation raising concerns, the Turkish Super Lig champions are reportedly looking to bolster their attack ahead of the January transfer window.
Galatasaray have been dealt a major blow with Mauro Icardi suffering a season-ending injury, leaving a significant gap alongside in-form striker Victor Osimhen.
Reports from Turkish outlets, including habersarikirmizi.com, indicate that negotiations with Paulo Dybala have been underway for months, and the Argentine forward is reportedly open to the move.
Paulo Dybala’s agent was spotted in Istanbul on Monday, attending Galatasaray’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Trabzonspor, as the club extended their unbeaten league run.
Reports suggest Galatasaray are ready to meet Roma’s asking price for the 31-year-old and offer him a lucrative €8 million annual salary. The Turkish giants see Dybala as the perfect partner for Victor Osimhen, who has been sensational since joining on loan from Napoli.
Osimhen has contributed 10 goals and 5 assists in just 14 appearances across all competitions, and he made his return from a brief injury in the win against Trabzonspor, coming off the bench in the final minutes.
Galatasaray hopes that pairing Osimhen with Dybala will strengthen their attack as they aim to defend their domestic title and make a deeper run in European competitions.
