It has been claimed that Jhon Durán wants to join Galatasaray, with allegations suggesting he communicated to the club a desire to play for them in the new season. These reports followed a statement from Galatasaray executive Abdullah Kavukçu, who said after a match against Antalyaspor that some players who had joined other clubs were now sending messages asking if they could move to Galatasaray. Concurrent with these reported links, it was learned that Durán had been in Istanbul for two days before leaving the city in the morning.
