This time, the two arch rivals faced off not on the field but over a transfer, with Fenerbahçe making a final offer for former striker Michy Batshuayi when Galatasaray suddenly came forward to bid for the move and shook hands with the experienced footballer’s manager.
Fenerbahce, who had been keen to sign the 30-year-old striker on a new contract, revised their offer to offer a three-year deal, leaving the final decision up to the Belgian striker, while the blue-and-yellow club revealed they had offered just under €3 million in signing-on money and an annual salary of €3.1 million.

Galatasaray’s offer was more attractive for the star striker, who is happy in Istanbul and wants to stay there in the future. It turns out that the Belgian footballer, who said “no” to Fenerbahce’s offer, was offered a better signing-on fee by the Yellow-Red team, making the move more favorable. Galatasaray reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with an annual salary of 3 million euros and a signing-on bonus of 3 million euros. Timbom also had the experienced footballer undergo a medical yesterday.

There is Mertens
Meanwhile, it is understood that Mertens also met with his compatriot and played an important role in persuading him to move to Galatasaray. Batshuayi’s option at Fenerbahçe was not activated due to him not playing enough games in the first 11 matches. The 30-year-old footballer played 41 games for the yellow-blue team in the Super League, Turkish Cup and Conference League last season, scoring 22 goals and providing one assist.
