They’ve had a lot of big investments into that club recently. There’s a big push to get them challenging in the champions league every year. Osimhen is reported to be on about 250k a week.

I could definitely see them going 100k-150k for a player like Akanji.

Guess they done have PSR in Istanbul <laugh>

But the key to this turnaround was financial engineering. The club sold some of its shares of public company Galatasaray A.Ş., starting Aug. 2011, which brought in around $50 million. They then revealed that, contrary to what the public had been told before, the stadium revenues belonged to the club, not the company.

According to Habertürk columnist Yavuz Semerci, ticket sales were registered as donations for “tax purposes,” but the gist of all this was the increase in the company’s share capital. Galatasaray A.Ş. shareholders were obliged to pay 25 Turkish Liras per share in order to keep their shares from being diluted.

The Hürriyet Daily News’ Çetin Cem Yılmaz recently quotedGalatasaray A.Ş. lawyer Sedat Bozanoğlu stating that the club had profited nearly $100 million from the operation. Sneijder and Drogba’s wages are peanuts compared to this sum.

The club participated in the capital raise by transferring the stadium proceeds, which were supposed to belong to the company in the first place, to Galatasaray A.Ş. If they knew of the company’s capital increase beforehand, their share sale would be classified as insider trading. If nothing else, the company’s share price took multiple hits because of these actions.

But Turkish equities watchdog Capital Markets Board turned a blind eye to all this. Some argue that this was one of the main reasons that led the government to summarily dismiss the Board’s chairman Vedat Akgiray in December.

Would be absolutely perfect for us right now and for a couple of years at least.

He is PL proven and would absolutely elevate the defence immediately.
We could afford the fee but probs not the wages, pretty sure he'd have better options tbh.

Looks like City letting Akanji go and I think we should have Granit on the blower to him immediately.

£15million agreed with Gala and that would be a game changing signing for that dollar.

Maybe just me, but he has never struck me as being outstanding. Even playing for them, I've seen him ran past on occasions like he had concrete wellies on.

And at his age, at that fee, not for me. Luckily though, it isn't "for me"!
