Galatasaray Linked with Surprise Striker in Quest for 5th Championship

Galatasaray, the champion of the last 4 seasons in the Super League, started the new season with the goal of winning the 5th championship in a row, losing 2 points. After drawing 2-2 with Çorum FK in the home field, the management of the Yellow-Reds, who were invited to resign by the fans, put a surprise name, Alexander Sörloth, on the agenda for the striker area, which created a vacancy after the departure of Mauro Icardi. It was learned that the Yellow-Reds, who normally give priority to players suitable for the U23 quota, are closely monitoring the situation of the experienced striker. It was stated that transfer conditions are being investigated for the 29-year-old football player, who is expected to leave Atletico Madrid. RENTAL WITH MANDATORY PURCHASE OPTION It has been claimed that the Yellow-Reds may consider the rental formula with compulsory purchase option for the Norwegian striker. It was stated that Galatasaray management was evaluating the conditions of Sörloth's transfer and that the negotiations could gain momentum if a suitable formula was formed. On the other hand, if Sörloth is transferred, Galatasaray will have to make a new arrangement in its foreign quota. It was noted that the Yellow-Reds, who are planning to reinforce their wing rotation, may have to send one of their current foreign players. It was stated that the management will shape the transfer planning accordingly. FORMER KING OF THE SUPER LEAGUE Sörloth scored 33 goals in 49 matches in Trabzonspor, where he played on loan in the 2019-2020 season, and became the top scorer in the Super League, where he scored 24 of these goals. HE SCORED 44 GOALS IN 107 MATCHES IN ATLETICO
