Galatasaray are pushing to sign Paulo Dybala from AS Roma as the club look to add to their forward line.
The Turkish champions made headlines in the summer after the loan capture of Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
After negotiations between Osimhen and other clubs broke down, Galatasaray struck an agreement to bring the Nigerian to Istanbul. Osimhen, who was Serie A’s leading scorer in 2022/23, has since scored 10 goals in 14 appearances.
Galatasaray are now plotting another bold raid on Serie A. Okan Buruk wants to bring Dybala to Rams Park, following Mauro Icardi’s season-ending injury.
Sky Germany are reporting that Gala are now pushing to sign the Argentina international and Dybala is open to the move. The two clubs have not begun negotiations at this stage, but Dybala is receptive to a new challenge in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Galatasaray are open to either a loan or permanent deal for the 31-year-old, who has a release clause of just €12m for foreign clubs in the summer.
Dybala has scored 36 goals in 95 appearances for Roma since joining the capital club on a free transfer from Juventus in 2022.
