Galatasaray ‘to move for’ Man United forward as window dynamics change | OneFootball

Galatasaray are tracking Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and a late-window switch to Türkiye has become more plausible, Fanatik reports.

After an unexpected 1-1 draw with Çorum FK on the Süper Lig opening weekend, president Dursun Özbek has accelerated plans for a marquee attacking signing.

International agent George Gardi is leading talks and has told the club Rashford is more open to Istanbul than before.

The 28-year-old returned to Old Trafford after a loan at Barcelona, who chose not to trigger a purchase option. His preference is to remain in the Premier League, but he would consider Galatasaray if suitable English offers do not arrive before the deadline.

Gardi, involved in major deals for Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen, has told the board the chances this window are higher than in previous attempts. Özbek wants a headline addition to satisfy supporters and bolster the attack alongside Osimhen.

Galatasaray have also reassessed Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sörloth, yet talks stalled over a net €12 million annual salary. Unless he reduces his demands, that pursuit is expected to be dropped as attention shifts to bringing Rashford to RAMS Park.
