As part of their planning for the upcoming season, influenced by the TFF's new foreign player rule and a list from manager Okan Buruk, Galatasaray has targeted Turkish-Danish winger Aral Şimşir. The club has initiated an attempt to sign the 23-year-old from Midtjylland, which he joined in July 2021. A report indicated that the Danish team has an expectation of at least 15 million euros for the player's transfer fee. His contract with the Danish club runs until the end of 2029, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m. He has also been linked with Trabzonspor.
