Galatasaray target Undav – Brighton open to winter deal

With “Seagulls” only replacement

With 35 goals involved in 33 Jupiler Pro League games under his belt, center forward Deniz Undav came to Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer, who had signed the native of Achimer from Union SG at the beginning of the year. However, the attacker, who cost seven million euros, waited for his breakthrough with the “Seagulls” during the first half of the season – only 94 minutes of action are available in the Premier League. After rumors of interest from the Turkish first division club Galatasaray Istanbul a few weeks ago, a move by the 26-year-old to the Bosphorus will be a “Hurriyet‘ reportedly more likely.

Accordingly, “Cim Bom” is looking for an alternative for Benfica loan Haris Seferovic, who has not been able to get beyond short assignments in Okan Buruk’s team since August and will return to the “Adlers” next summer at the latest. However, the Turkish club is also considering ending the loan deal in winter and separating early from the former Frankfurter, who still has a contract in Lisbon until 2024. According to the newspaper, Undav is the number one candidate for the winter transfer window. A loan is also being considered initially, Brighton have shown themselves openly in the first talks.

However, Galatasaray does not want to generally rule out a permanent transfer from Undavs, who was still playing at SV Meppen in the 3rd division in 2020 and whose market value has increased more than tenfold since then. When looking for offensive reinforcements, the 22-time Turkish champion favors a player with a Turkish passport. Undav is said to have both citizenships and had already been a topic in the squad nominations by Turkey coach Stefan Kuntz for the past Nations League games.
