Galatasaray is interested in Rayan Cherki. However, Cherki has refused to join the Süper Lig club.

In the final stages of the transfer window, Galatasaray has made a significant move. Reports from the French press indicate that Galatasaray has initiated the transfer of Rayan Cherki from Lyon. It is understood that Lyon has given permission for Cherki to leave during the summer transfer window, although his transfers to PSG and Borussia Dortmund did not materialize for various reasons. Galatasaray has already conducted the first meeting with Cherki. It is reported that Galatasaray's coach, Okan Buruk, plans to use the 21-year-old player as a winger instead of in the number 10 role.
