Creation Date: July 03, 2025 07:00

Galatasaray , who are looking for a new goalkeeper after Fernando Muslera 's departure, have turned their attention to Inter's Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer after failing to make the desired progress in the transfer of Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic. The 36-year-old Swiss goalkeeper plays regularly for Inter and is known for his international experience. This makes Sommer an ideal choice for Galatasaray, who are looking for a goalkeeper at the Champions League level. Sommer, who has one year left on his contract with Serie A giants Inter, is valued at 4 million Euros.

Djordjevic to join Sunderland

Sommer's biggest drawback is that he is a short-term solution due to his advancing age... It was known that the first choice of the red and yellow management was Djordje Petrovic, but the 20 million Euro valuation of the young Serbian goalkeeper seemed high to Galatasaray, who had kept most of their budget ready for the Osimhen transfer. Taking advantage of the fact that the Galatasaray-Chelsea negotiations were dragging on, Sunderland offered the London team 25 million Euro for Petrovic. When both Chelsea and the player accepted this offer, Galatasaray withdrew from the race.

Inter don't want to let Sommer go

Lucas Perri, who plays for Lyon, was also a goalkeeper possibility for Galatasaray, but it is claimed that technical director Okan Buruk cancelled the Lucas Perri transfer and turned to Sommer. According to sources close to the club, Galatasaray also made an offer to Inter for Sommer. Among the news is that the red and yellows have offered a symbolic amount for the Swiss goalkeeper, who has 1 year left on his contract and is also getting older. According to the Italian press, Inter wants to keep Sommer, who plays regularly in goal, until the end of his contract.
