Galatasaray implemented a rigorous training program for about 10 days in the Austria camp and played 3 friendly matches. The red-yellows were defeated by Linz and Fortuna Düsseldorf during this period, but managed to beat Trencin. One of the most striking performances came from 37-year-old star player Dries Mertens. Mertens made significant contributions to his team with 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 matches.
In the transfer period, Galatasaray only added Michy Batshuayi to its squad in the Austria camp. The other transfers could not make it to the camp. The management continues its work for the second camp and is trying to complete the transfers. Galatasaray, who reached an agreement with Guela Doue for the right-back position, also reached an agreement with the young French right-back. Negotiations are ongoing between Wendel and Zenit for the central midfield transfer.
