As part of a strategy to add young players to its squad, Galatasaray is targeting Hoffenheim's Umut Tohumcu. Tohumcu is a 21-year-old midfielder, described as promising, who holds both German and Turkish nationality. Galatasaray is preparing a loan offer for the player that includes a 6 million Euro purchase option. The midfielder has represented Germany at youth levels. The potential move coincides with Galatasaray's plans for other players to leave the club. If Tohumcu signs, he would be able to switch to Turkish player status. He joined Hoffenheim in January 2023 and is contracted until June 2028. Tohumcu has made five Bundesliga appearances this season. His current market value is listed at €5.00m by Transfermarkt. Fenerbahçe has also been linked with the player.
