Super Lig news

Galatasaray are no longer content with being the dominant force in Turkish football; they have set their sights on the European elite. Following a stunning 5-2 victory over Juventus in the Champions League, vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu has outlined a blueprint to transform the Istanbul giants into a global powerhouse within five years. Central to this revolution is the successful integration of marquee signings from Serie A, a market the club has raided with increasing frequency and financial might.

Victor Osimhen claims that Napoli “treated me like a dog” prior to severing ties with the Serie A champions in 2024. Despite being a prolific presence for the Italian outfit, helping them to a domestic title in 2023, the Nigeria international striker was brutally mocked by his own club in a racist social media video that ultimately paved the way for him heading out of Naples.

Still just 22 years old, Jhon Duran has joined the sixth club of his increasingly nomadic career and his third in the space of just 12 months, making the controversial decision to head to Russia and sign for Zenit St Petersburg. It is a little over a year since the former Aston Villa hitman was being linked with European giants Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, but after spells in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the striker is already drifting further into obscurity.

Wrexham director Shaun Harvey has opened up on the club's decision to pull the plug on a potentially historic £19 million ($24m) move for teenage sensation Sidiki Cherif during the January transfer window. The Welsh side, backed by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, ultimately decided against the record-breaking outlay to ensure they remained within financial regulations.

Noa Lang has lifted the lid on his abrupt Napoli exit, aiming a dig at Antonio Conte after claiming he was treated unfairly during his brief spell in Italy. The Dutch winger, who has joined Galatasaray on loan to save his World Cup dream, insists his relationship with the fiery manager was non-existent and hit out at the "political behaviour" behind the scenes in Naples that forced him out after just six months.

N’Golo Kante has officially completed a dramatic move to Fenerbahce after agreeing to terminate his contract with Al-Ittihad. The French World Cup winner has put pen to paper on a deal until June 2028, returning to European football after FIFA finally granted the green light following an administrative blunder that had initially derailed the switch.

N'Golo Kante reportedly refused to turn up for training with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad on Tuesday after a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce collapsed. The France international was set to fly to Istanbul to wrap up the transfer, but an administrative error from Al-Ittihad apparently stopped the deal from going through. There is still a chance of the transfer being completed, with Turkiye's transfer window not closing until Friday, February 6.

Fenerbahce have released a scathing statement placing the blame for the collapse of the high-profile swap deal involving N'Golo Kante and Youssef En-Nesyri squarely on Al-Ittihad. The Turkish giants claim a data entry error by the Saudi side in the Transfer Matching System caused the deadline to be missed, leaving the club furious after they had fulfilled all their obligations.

Lionel Messi has reportedly given the “green light” to a sensational transfer that would include a “no away games” stipulation. The Argentine GOAT has extended his contract at MLS Cup winners Inter Miami through 2028, but wants to ensure that he is ready for World Cup duty in 2026. That could mean returning to Europe on a short-term deal, with Galatasaray ready to throw open their doors.

Tyrell Malacia’s nightmare spell at Manchester United has taken a chaotic and bitter turn after the club blocked his proposed exit to Turkey while he was literally waiting to board his flight. The Dutch defender has been left "furious" and in a state of total disbelief by the 11th-hour U-turn from technical director Jason Wilcox, which traps him at Old Trafford despite him having no apparent prospect of first-team football.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana could make a sensational return to former club Inter during the summer 2026 window, a new report has claimed. Onana is currently on loan at Trabzonspor, but he is not expected to remain at the Turkish Super Lig side beyond the end of the season and so the player is trying to find other suitors.

Lincoln Henrique has unleashed a verbal volley at Jose Mourinho, claiming the Portuguese manager treated him with total disrespect during their brief overlap at Fenerbahce. The Brazilian midfielder alleges he was frozen out without explanation and accuses the "Special One" of lacking character in a damning assessment of his former boss, insisting that personal integrity matters more than a trophy cabinet filled with silverware.

Back in the summer of 2023, Victor Osimhen was the most in-demand striker in world football. He'd just spearheaded Napoli's run to their first Scudetto in 33 years, netting 26 goals in 32 games to become the first African player ever to finish as Serie A top scorer, and had pretty much every elite club in Europe knocking on his door. For a 24-year-old with talent and drive, it seemed like the start of something truly special.

World Cup winner N'Golo Kante has emerged as the subject of a bold transfer approach from Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce as he enters the final six months of his contract in Saudi Arabia. The former Chelsea midfielder has reportedly stalled on signing a new deal with Al-Ittihad, opening the door for a sensational European return, though his current club remain desperate to retain his services beyond the summer.
