Galatasaray reach agreement with Porto for Deniz Gül transfer

Fresh off a win over Göztepe in the Trendyol Süper Lig, Galatasaray continue to move quickly in the transfer market. After officially confirming the signing of Rafael Leao, the Istanbul club has now turned its attention to 22-year-old international striker Deniz Gül. Following Mauro Icardi's departure, Galatasaray have been searching for attacking reinforcements and entered talks with Portuguese side FC Porto.

According to reports, the two clubs have reached an agreement over the transfer. Portuguese outlet Record reports that Galatasaray will pay Porto a base fee of 10 million euros for Deniz Gül, with an additional 1 million euros in performance-related bonuses written into the contract. Porto are also said to be entitled to a 10 percent sell-on clause. Turkish media, meanwhile, put the total cost of the deal at around 11 million euros.

Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Deniz Gül had always viewed Galatasaray as his top priority throughout the transfer saga and responded positively to the offer. The young forward is expected to travel to Istanbul shortly for a medical examination before signing his contract.

Deniz Gül began his career in Sweden with Djursholm and Hammarby before joining Porto in 2024 for a fee of 4.5 million euros. Over two seasons with the Portuguese club, he made 71 official appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists, while also earning 10 caps for the Turkish national team. Across his entire career, he has featured in 120 matches, scoring 26 goals and registering 6 assists.
