According to Fanatik, Santiago Gimenez could potentially be transferred to Galatasaray. Gimenez has been linked with the club, but an injury has complicated a potential transfer. Galatasaray had intended to reinforce their forward line, and Gimenez was a leading candidate on their list, but the technical team has turned its attention to other star alternatives due to the uncertainty caused by his injury. The management is now evaluating other striker candidates in addition to Griezmann.

Milan's 24-year-old Mexican international Santiago Gimenez, who has been linked with Galatasaray, was one of the primary names on the club's list for an attacking reinforcement. However, an injury to the forward has complicated a potential transfer, leading to a change in Galatasaray's plans. It is understood that the coaching staff, including Okan Buruk, has started to focus on other star players due to the uncertainty about Gimenez's condition. In the current Serie A season, he has one goal and one assist. The forward has also been linked with several English clubs, such as West Ham United and Leeds United. In November 2025, Sunderland reportedly made an offer structured as a loan with a mandatory €30 million purchase clause. His current market value is €25 million, according to Transfermarkt.
