Westerlo is reportedly targeting Metehan Baltacı, a 23-year-old central defender from Galatasaray. Westerlo has already submitted an offer for the player, who has been capped 12 times for the Türkiye U21 team, scoring one goal. However, the Belgian club has competition from Pogoń Szczecin, who are also interested in the player. Both clubs wish to sign Baltacı, who has two years left on his contract, on a permanent deal. In contrast, Galatasaray would prefer to loan him out, meaning negotiations are still required to reach a potential agreement. Last season, Baltacı made 2 appearances in the Süper Lig.
