Fresh off securing their third consecutive Trendyol Süper Lig title with a commanding 2-0 home victory over Başakşehir on Friday evening, Galatasaray is reportedly shifting its full focus to an ambitious summer transfer window.
While efforts continue to retain star forward Victor Osimhen, the reigning champions are now said to be targeting Chelsea’s high-profile French international, Christopher Nkunku, in a move that would send a clear signal of intent for the upcoming season according to Fanatik.
Galatasaray concluded their dominant league campaign in front of their home fans with a strong performance, bidding farewell to the season on a positive note.

With their historic “three-peat” championship confirmed, the club’s management is now prioritizing the assembly of an even stronger squad for the next season, aiming for continued success both domestically and in Europe.
While the future of Nigerian sensation Victor Osimhen remains a subject of intense speculation, with both the club and fans eagerly awaiting his decision, Galatasaray’s transfer efforts have reportedly accelerated with the addition of Christopher Nkunku to their list of primary targets.
News of this interest has been widely reported and has quickly become a major talking point in Turkish football.
It is understood that Galatasaray plans to make an official offer soon for Nkunku, a versatile center-forward who can also operate effectively on the wings.
The club reportedly believes that the French star’s “fast” playing style would seamlessly integrate into their existing tactical setup.
Nkunku, who has played a total of 42 matches across all competitions this season for Chelsea, has contributed significantly with 14 goals and 5 assists in those appearances.
The former Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig standout, of Congolese origin, has commanded significant transfer fees throughout his career, totaling approximately €79.5 million. According to Transfermarkt data, his current market value stands at €35 million.
The pursuit of Nkunku underscores Galatasaray’s aspiration to further elevate their squad and compete at the highest level. Should they secure the services of the talented forward, it would undoubtedly be one of the most significant transfers of the summer, reinforcing their status as a dominant force in Turkish football and a growing presence on the European stage.
