Galatasaray has strongly entered the race for one of the most established goalkeepers in European football: Marc-André ter Stegen.
After finalizing the transfer of Leroy Sané, who decided to leave Bayern Munich, the team from Istanbul now aims to strengthen the goal following the departure of Fernando Muslera.
The Turkish club wants to continue strengthening the squad with high-level players and has focused its attention on the Barcelona goalkeeper.
According to what "Sport" reports, Galatasaray has already presented an official offer to both the player's environment and the Catalan club.
The offer includes a net annual salary of 5 million euros for Ter Stegen, slightly less than he currently earns at Barça, but which could be tempting in a project where he is considered a key player.
The Turkish club's aim is to negotiate with Barcelona for a low-cost transfer or, alternatively, for a loan with an option to buy.
Although there are no clear signals from the "Camp Nou" about a separation with the German goalkeeper, Joan García's performance has raised questions about Ter Stegen's medium-term role as a starter.
In Istanbul, they are convinced that the approaches of figures like Sané, as well as the real possibility of bringing in Ilkay Gündogan, could tempt Ter Stegen to join an ambitious project with European goals.
For now, the goalkeeper remains determined to stay at Barcelona, but Galatasaray's interest is serious and could mark one of the most surprising moves of the upcoming summer transfer window./Express newspaper/
