Anthony Dennis, a 22-year-old midfielder for Göztepe who joined the club in July 2023, has been associated in recent months with a potential transfer to several clubs, including the German sides Hoffenheim, Mainz, Augsburg, and Stuttgart. It is reported that the Nigerian player has also drawn interest from teams in England, such as Leeds United, Southampton, and Coventry City, as well as from Villarreal in Spain and Turkish clubs including Beşiktaş and Galatasaray.
In the 2025/2026 season, Dennis made 63 Süper Lig appearances, providing three goals and three assists. Anderlecht has demonstrated specific interest, and the Belgian club had a bid of approximately €3.3 million rejected in June 2025. Göztepe, where Dennis is under contract until 2027, rejected the offer because they believed they could obtain a larger transfer fee. His market value is now estimated at about €8 million, and there is speculation in Turkey that the price could reach ten million or more.
