According to TuttoJuve, Galatasaray are preparing a major move ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window. The Turkish giants are eager to strengthen their midfield and have identified a player with proven international experience to lead that effort.
The Istanbul-based club reportedly have their sights set on Yves Bissouma, the Malian midfielder currently under contract with Tottenham Hotspur.

At 29 years old, Bissouma brings both maturity and skill to the pitch. He has made 42 appearances for the Mali national team, scoring five goals, and his deal with the North London side is due to expire in June.

Bissouma has yet to feature for Tottenham this season, a situation that has raised questions about his future in the Premier League. Despite his talent, he has struggled to secure a regular place under Ange Postecoglou.

For that reason, a move in the January transfer window could offer him a fresh start and more consistent playing time. However, Galatasaray are not the only club monitoring his situation.
Juventus are also reportedly keeping a close eye on the midfielder, setting up what could become a fierce market battle between the two sides. The Bianconeri see Bissouma as a potential reinforcement for their midfield rotation, especially with their focus on adding more physicality and defensive balance to the team.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, are determined to make a statement in Europe by attracting experienced players from top leagues. Their ambition is to maintain dominance in the Turkish Super Lig while advancing further in continental competitions.
The addition of Bissouma would fit perfectly into that strategy, offering both leadership and stability in the middle of the park. While negotiations have not yet begun formally, interest from both Juventus and Galatasaray suggests that Bissouma’s name will be one of the most discussed topics in the upcoming transfer window.
