Galatasaray have been offered the chance to pull off one of the summer’s most audacious deals after international intermediary George Gardi recommended Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to the Turkish champions according to Fanatik.
The proposal comes amidst mounting pressure on the Galatasaray board to deliver marquee attacking reinforcements following an unexpected 1–1 draw against Çorum FK on the opening weekend of the Süper Lig season. The dropped points triggered vocal frustration from supporters at RAMS Park, prompting club officials and manager Okan Buruk to step up their recruitment efforts.
Gardi Eyes Another Landmark Deal
Gardi, who played a central role in bringing stars such as Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen to Istanbul, has reportedly informed Galatasaray’s executive board that he can facilitate a deal for the 28-year-old English international.

Proposal to Board: Gardi reached out to the Galatasaray hierarchy to pitch the Englishman as a marquee solution for their frontline, exploiting the uncertainty surrounding his situation in England.

Fan Reaction: News of the agent’s proposal has ignited widespread excitement among the Sarı-Kırmızılı fanbase, who are eager for a headline addition before the transfer window closes.
Board Evaluating Options
While the prospect of signing Rashford has generated headlines across Turkey, Galatasaray continue to weigh multiple high-profile targets:
-
AC Milan winger Rafael Leão remains a primary target for the left flank, with negotiations ongoing alongside their move for Lokomotiv Moscow talent Aleksey Batrakov.
-
No formal agreement or official bid for Rashford has been finalized yet, as the board reviews the financial parameters required to execute a deal of this magnitude.
