Turkish media: Galatasaray is interested in Sancho, and many Premier League teams are interested in Ilmaz

May 13th Turkish media "Haber Sarikirmizi" quoted reporter Alda Ozkurt as saying that Galatasaray is interested in Sancho and they are examining the players' situation.

Sancho joined Chelsea on loan in the summer of 2024, with a lease period of one year. Although Sancho's buyout option has been activated, it has been reported recently that the Blues may pay Manchester United a 5 million termination fee to send Sancho back to Old Trafford. But Sancho also has no position at Manchester United, and there seems to be no suspense when he leaves the team this summer. Sancho has played 40 games for the Blues so far this season, contributing 4 goals and 10 assists. Sancho's contract with Manchester United will expire in the summer of 2026.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray's 24-year-old attacker Barris Alper Ilmaz is being watched by many Premier League teams, including Villa, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, who performed well in last year's European Cup. So far this season, Ilmaz has played 46 games for Galatasaray, scoring 12 goals and assisting 6 times. Ilmaz's De's turnaround is worth 20 million euros, and his contract with the team will expire in the summer of 2027.
