Galatasaray has added Federico Valverde, a player for Real Madrid, to its transfer list. It is claimed that Real Madrid's coach, Jose Mourinho, does not view Federico Valverde as one of his primary options for the upcoming season. Consequently, Galatasaray officials have inquired about the player's situation due to the increased possibility of his departure. The club's main strategy is to acquire Valverde on loan, as his transfer fee is considered very high. Galatasaray's management has communicated to Real Madrid their readiness to enter negotiations should Valverde be made available for a loan. It is also claimed that Galatasaray might pay a portion of Valverde's salary and is thinking about including a purchase option in the loan agreement. Galatasaray players Fernando Muslera and Lucas Torreira have been in contact with Valverde, giving him information about the club and the city of Istanbul, and have described the club's positive atmosphere, fan support, and goals. Valverde's contract with Real Madrid is valid until June 30, 2029, and his market value is reported to be 90 million euros, which is the reason Galatasaray is concentrating on a loan deal. Official negotiations are anticipated to commence if Real Madrid agrees to let Valverde leave.
