Galatasaray they plan to bolster their attack by identifying two forwards they believe could complement them Victor Osimhen on the eve of the new season.
The Turkish champions are evaluating the addition of the striker as part of a wider restructuring of the squad, with the aim of improving depth and flexibility in the final third.
The move comes amid ongoing transfer speculation surrounding Osimhen himself, although the Nigerian forward has publicly dismissed suggestions of an imminent departure from the club.
Duran and Kolo Muani in the shortlist
According to Galatasaray reporter Burhan Can Terzi, the club’s recruitment team has narrowed its focus on two main attacking targets: Fenerbahçe’s Jhon Duran and Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani.
“The two names Galatasaray are considering most as strikers to partner and support Osimhen are Jhon Duran and Kolo Muani,” Terzi said, as quoted by habersarikirmizi.
He added that club officials are leaning towards Duran for financial reasons, noting: “The management of Galatasaray is favorable to Jhon Duran because of his affordable price.”
Duran has attracted attention in the Turkish Super League for his physical presence and direct attacking style, while Kolo Muani remains a high-profile option with experience in Europe’s top competitions.
Osimhen remains a central part of the plans
Despite persistent transfer rumors linking Victor Osimhen with a possible departure this summer, the striker has reiterated his commitment to Galatasaray, insisting he intends to stay with the reigning league champions.
Osimhen’s presence remains central to the club’s long-term planning as they look to build a more dynamic attack around him rather than replace him.
