The report from Blikk also revealed that Super Lig giants Fenerbahce have slapped the asking price of €25m on the Hungarian centre back. The fee would make him the most expensive player in the history of Hungarian football.

Galatasaray are always expected to challenge for the Turkish Super League title every season and the current league campaign is no exception.

The Turkish giants have won two of the last three league titles and they are the second most successful team in this regard with 23 titles. Archrivals Fenerbahce are the most successful team in the history of Turkish league football (28 titles).

Turkish giants Galatasaray have extended their unbeaten run to six games in the league on the back of their convincing win over Hatayspor.

Galatasaray have not tasted defeat in the league since the 2-1 loss at home to league leaders Alanyasportwo months ago.

Senegalese player Maye Diane continued his good form in front of goal with the first goal of the game with Transport in Istanbul on Saturday. His goal came on 32 minutes off an assist from Algerian international SofianeFeghouli and it was enough to give Galatasaray an half-time lead at the Turk Telecom Stadium. Diagne has now scored five goals in his last three games which is in stark contrast to last season when he scored just four goals in the league.

Galatasaray extended their wonderful form with a 3-0 victory over Hatayspor during the weekend. This was the fourth win in the last five matches for Fatih Terim’s men. The result managed to stretch the unbeaten run for the Turkish club to a very impressive six matches in all competitions. As a result, Galatasaray have been able to make decent progress in terms of climbing up the league table.

The club are now level on points with Alanyaspor, who have played a game less. Even though there continues to be a strong threat from Fenerbahce and Besiktas who are not far behind, Galatasaray are becoming increasingly confident about a positive campaign.

Galatasaray have not been left out of the new wave of testing positive to Covid-19 in the footballing world. The Turkish Super League giants have fallen victim to the virus after three players returned a positive test for the virus to take the number of Covid-19 cases in the team to five.

Arda Turan and Ryan Babel have both tested positive, while the identity of the other three victims has not been disclosed. Dutch international Ryan Babel missed the UEFA Nations League win over hosts Poland on Wednesday night as a result of the virus as he has gone into isolation.
