Galatasaray submitted an official loan offer with a purchase option to Neom SC for Nathan Zeze, a 21-year-old French and Ivorian center-back who plays for the Saudi Pro League club.

In the 2025/2026 season, he made 31 appearances in the Saudi Pro League, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €20.00m.
