After having seduced Victor Osimhen, the Turkish championship almost welcomed Sadio Mané.
The 2024 summer transfer window officially ended on August 30 for the five major European leagues. On the other hand, the Super Lig (Turkish D1) closed its transfer window on September 13. This delay allowed some Turkish clubs to finalize last-minute operations, and not the least.
Thus, Galatasaray managed to secure the loan of Victor Osimhen. Indeed, Cimbom knew how to seize its chance with the Nigerian striker, pushed towards the exit by Naples, and whose many suitors saw their interest cool in the face of the high demands of the Partenopei. But the former Lille player almost got joined in Turkey by another star of African football: Sadio Mané.
An offensive this winter
According to Photographicthe Al-Nassr striker has attracted the interest of Besiktas. The local media indicates that the Istanbul club initially considered recruiting the Senegalese during this final sprint.
Ultimately, the Black Eagles decided to wait until the winter transfer window, due to the need for the Saudi team to find a suitable replacement. A sine qua non condition for the Riyadh club to agree to let the former Liverpool firebrand leave, under contract until June 2026.
