Galatasaray aims to sign defenders Pavard and Sommer from Inter Milan in a transfer pursuit
Galatasaray Pursuing Inter Milan's Benjamin Pavard and Yann Sommer
Galatasaray, the Turkish football powerhouse, is reportedly eyeing a double move from Italian club Inter Milan, targeting both defender Benjamin Pavard and goalkeeper Yann Sommer as part of its summer transfer plans.
According to sources, Galatasaray has turned to Benjamin Pavard as an alternative to Wilfried Singo, with Pavard currently contracted to Inter Milan until 2028. The French international defender joined Inter from Bayern Munich in 2023 for a transfer fee of €31.4 million.
Pavard offers versatility, capable of playing both centrally and on the wings in defence. His potential move to Galatasaray could be a season-long loan, as the Turkish club seeks to strengthen its right-back position.
Yann Sommer, Sommer's current club is Inter Milan, and he is being considered for a permanent move. Sommer, who has previously expressed his willingness to join Galatasaray if an agreement with Inter was reached, is a highly-regarded goalkeeper in Europe.
The proposed deal involves a package that includes both Pavard and Sommer, with Galatasaray awaiting a response from Inter Milan regarding the proposed transfer. The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
It's worth noting that Galatasaray has been active in the transfer market this summer, making a significant splash with the record-breaking signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli for €75 million. They have also submitted an official bid for Manchester City's Ederson Moraes and are in talks regarding defender Manuel Akanji.
However, as of August 2025, there are no confirmed reports or details available about Galatasaray's potential moves involving Benjamin Pavard, Yann Sommer, or any direct transfers from Inter Milan. The future of Wilfried Singo's potential move from Monaco remains uncertain, and the details of Yann Sommer's future with Inter Milan are not specified in the available reports.
Stay tuned for more updates on Galatasaray's transfer activities as they unfold.
