August 10, 2026 Transfer Roundup: Can Uzun, Endrick, Batrakov and the Key Developments

With days remaining before the new season kicks off, Süper Lig clubs have shifted into high gear in the transfer market. Galatasaray is negotiating on multiple fronts, while Fenerbahçe is scouting names across Europe to reinforce its attack. Here are the standout developments from August 5-10, 2026.

A critical juncture for Can Uzun

The hottest topic of Galatasaray's summer has been Eintracht Frankfurt's young star Can Uzun. According to reports, the Istanbul club put a package worth roughly 40 million euros on the table — 35 million euros guaranteed plus 5 million in bonuses, along with a potential future sell-on clause. Frankfurt, on the other hand, is said to be holding out for 50 million euros, though the gap between the two sides has reportedly narrowed to around 5 million euros. Can Uzun is said to be open to the move should the clubs reach an agreement, but there has been no official confirmation yet.

A loan formula for Rodrigo Mora

Another name on Galatasaray's radar for the number 10 role is Porto's young talent Rodrigo Mora. Reports suggest the clubs are close to a one-year loan agreement worth 10 million euros, though without an option to buy included in the structure. Meanwhile, Porto coach Francesco Farioli's reported reluctance to lose the youngster is being cited as a complicating factor in the talks.

Double rejection in the Batrakov saga

Things have gotten tougher for Galatasaray in their pursuit of Lokomotiv Moscow's 21-year-old midfielder Aleksey Batrakov. The Russian club stated it is not in talks with Galatasaray and has no intention of selling the player. Galatasaray's reported opening bid of 20 million euros was rejected, and a follow-up offer of 25 million euros is said to have gone unanswered as well. The club is reportedly preparing a fresh proposal.

Rangers rebuff Galatasaray over Chermiti

Galatasaray also received bad news regarding Rangers' young striker Youssef Chermiti, another forward target. The Scottish club reportedly rejected a verbal offer in the 20-25 million euro range as insufficient, demanding a fee of up to 40 million euros. Compounding matters, Chermiti was forced off with an injury during a Scottish league match, further complicating Galatasaray's plans at the position.

A crucial week for Fenerbahçe's Endrick pursuit

Talks are reportedly progressing over Real Madrid's young Brazilian forward Endrick, a target for Fenerbahçe's attack. According to reports, the club's football director met with Real Madrid officials and made progress on terms for a loan deal, though the player is said to still be undecided about a move to Turkey and is seeking assurances of regular playing time. No official signing has been announced.

A Marseille connection in Igor Paixão

Following the Mason Greenwood transfer, another name Fenerbahçe has reportedly set its sights on for the wing is Marseille's Brazilian winger Igor Paixão. The French club is said to be open to selling due to financial restructuring needs, with a reported asking price of 25-30 million euros. The pair's previous chemistry together at Marseille is cited as an added incentive behind the interest.

Beşiktaş's second Arsenal raid: Gabriel Jesus

Having already landed Leandro Trossard, Beşiktaş has reportedly turned its attention back to Arsenal's squad, this time targeting Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus. Reports indicate the Istanbul club has submitted an official offer to the London side. Arsenal is said to be asking for around 20 million pounds (roughly 23 million euros) and is reportedly only open to a permanent deal rather than a loan. Beşiktaş is said to have moved ahead of Fenerbahçe, which has also been linked with the striker.

Trabzonspor's interest in Darwin Nunez

After a busy summer that included the arrival of Mohamed Salah, Trabzonspor has reportedly turned its attention to Al Hilal's Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez. According to reports, the club is closing in on a loan agreement under which the Saudi club would continue covering part of the player's reported 22 million euro annual salary. A club official is said to be traveling to Saudi Arabia to finalize details, though no official confirmation has been made yet.

The Süper Lig's summer window shows no signs of slowing down, and most of these stories remain at the negotiation stage. Expect the picture to become clearer in the coming days as official announcements follow.
