Galatasaray is currently the most insistent club in pursuing the transfer of Jhon Arias from Fluminense, provided the Brazilian club does not increase their demands. Negotiations are complicated by the fact that 50% of Arias's rights are owned by Patriotas Boyacá, necessitating additional negotiations with this club.

Jhon Arias is a top priority for Galatasaray's coach, Okan Buruk, who has been in contact with the Colombian player since Kerem Aktürkoğlu's departure. Initially, Fluminense refused to release Arias, but the technical staff has now revealed that Arias has decided to leave. Galatasaray has reached a preliminary agreement with Arias and is currently negotiating the transfer fee with the Brazilian club. According to Brazilian media, Galatasaray is considered the most serious contender for Arias, although Cruzeiro has also shown interest.

Galatasaray is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire Jhon Arias from Fluminense. It is said that the Turkish club has reached an agreement on a 4-year contract, offering an annual salary of 2.5 million Euros to the 27-year-old Colombian winger. Arias, who is under contract with Fluminense until 2026, is reported to have not engaged in new contract discussions with his current club. There is considerable interest in Arias, and he is reportedly eager to evaluate offers during the winter transfer window. Galatasaray's interest has been extensively covered in the Brazilian media, influenced in part by the endorsement from Arias' fellow Colombian, Davinson Sanchez.

Galatasaray has expressed interest in signing Jhon Arias from Fluminense, with negotiations currently ongoing between the two clubs. According to journalist Jose Ilan, who has extensive experience covering Fluminense, rumors about Arias's potential move to Galatasaray have been circulating since mid-year. The transfer is anticipated to take place either in December or January. Arias is reportedly keen on the move to Galatasaray, considering it an ideal destination. Fluminense holds 50% of Arias's rights, while the other 50% is owned by Patriotas in Colombia. A release clause of 50 million Euros applies only to clubs outside Brazil.
