Galatasaray is making efforts to acquire Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen. Reports, as confirmed by 'Sky', revealed that initial discussions have occurred between Xhaka, his representatives, and the Istanbul club. A mediator was reportedly in Istanbul last week to further investigate the possibility of the transfer. Nevertheless, the deal is seen as challenging to achieve for several reasons. Galatasaray must secure the required funds, while Xhaka is reportedly content at Leverkusen and is under contract until 2028.

Galatasaray, who showed interest in Xhaka last season, is accelerating their efforts due to the player's favorable view of moving to Turkey and the admiration of the coach, Okan Buruk, for the Swiss player.
