Bayern Munich intends to make a proposal to Galatasaray for the 30-year-old goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır to replace Manuel Neuer, who is approaching 40 years of age. The Turkish international has 38 caps and has also attracted interest from other clubs. Information from the player's entourage indicates that Juventus and Inter Milan are also interested in acquiring the goalkeeper.
Çakır joined Galatasaray in September 2025 and has a contract until 2030. He has made 26 appearances in the Süper Lig this season. In April 2026, it was reported that Galatasaray's asking price was a minimum of €40 million. This followed his €27.5 million transfer from Trabzonspor.
