Galatasaray plans Man City raid for Akanji and keeper Ederson

Galatasaray pursues Manchester City center-back Manuel Akanji ahead of the 2025-2026 campaign. The Turkish giants have contacted City regarding potential transfer terms for the Swiss international. Transfer specialist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu reports that Galatasaray will present a formal bid if Akanji accepts reduced wages. City acquired the 29-year-old defender from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 for £15 million under a contract running through summer 2027. The Istanbul club previously targeted City goalkeeper Ederson during this transfer window as part of their summer recruitment strategy.
