Galatasaray is considering a move for Shakhtar's Brazilian winger, Alisson Santana, having placed the 20-year-old on their shortlist for the summer transfer window. The Istanbul club's interest is related to a potential reorganization of their attacking flanks, with some current players possibly departing. Alisson is versatile, capable of playing on the right wing, on the left, or in a role behind the striker. Shakhtar paid approximately 14 million euros for Santana in March 2025, signing him to a contract that runs until the end of 2029. A significant factor in any potential transfer could be the connection of Shakhtar's head coach, Arda Turan, who is considered a legend at Galatasaray. The winger has 8 caps and 1 goal for Brazil U20. In the current 2025/2026 season, he has made 10 appearances in the Premier Liga, scoring 1 goal and providing 4 assists. His current Transfermarkt market value is €9.00m.
