Galatasaray hits the button for Salah and Van Dijk! Big plan in the works

Seeking to turn Mohamed Salah's departure decision into an opportunity, the Istanbul giant has simultaneously initiated contacts for Van Dijk.

Mohamed Salah's decision to part ways with Liverpool has galvanized the entire Galatasaray community. The star footballer's statement that he “may leave after December,” his exclusion from the Champions League squad for the Inter match, and his solo training sessions have turned all eyes in the transfer market toward the Egyptian star. Galatasaray has been interested in the 33-year-old superstar for a long time. The recent developments came as a surprise, but the management wasted no time in taking action. The Yellow-Reds are preparing to make an offer to Salah.

Liverpool's decision here is crucial. The Yellow-Red management is seeking answers to questions such as whether a new agreement with the player will be reached and, if sold, how much the transfer fee would be. Meanwhile, the fans are not sitting idle. Following the British newspaper Mirror's statement that “Salah wants to join a team with a passionate fan base in Europe,” Galatasaray supporters have flooded the experienced star's social media accounts. Galatasaray fans sent messages to Salah saying, “Come to Galatasaray,” and tried to sway the player by sending videos of the passionate atmosphere in Istanbul. On the other hand, Mohamed Salah himself had openly expressed his admiration for the impressive atmosphere in the stands after Galatasaray defeated his team at Rams Park this season. This is seen as an advantage for Galatasaray in a possible transfer process.

As Galatasaray prepares to make a move for Salah in England, it has added another star to its offer package. The Yellow-Reds will also knock on Liverpool's door for Virgil van Dijk, who has been on their radar for a long time. Galatasaray is ready to open its wallet for the 34-year-old center back. Negotiations will begin at the request of technical director Okan Buruk, who wants to use the Van Dijk-Sanchez tandem in the Champions League. It is reported that Van Dijk is considering leaving Liverpool and has shared this with his close circle. Galatasaray's plan is to turn this crisis into an opportunity.
