Fulham defender Calvin Bassey is being linked with a move to Galatasaray, with the switch currently rated at a 70% probability according to transfer data.
The 25-year-old centre-back, valued at €28.00m, is rumoured to be attracting serious interest from the Istanbul club as they look to reinforce their back line from the Premier League market. Data from Transfermarkt lists the move from Fulham to the Süper Lig champions as a developing possibility rather than an agreed deal, with no indication yet of any contract terms or fee being finalised.
Bassey’s current contract situation at Craven Cottage is not specified in the available data, leaving open the theoretical prospect that he could become a free agent in the future if no extension is agreed. For now, though, he remains a Fulham player, with Galatasaray seen as potential suitors rather than confirmed buyers.
Born in Aosta on 31 December 1999, the left-footed defender holds Nigerian and English nationality and is listed primarily as a centre-back. His career path has taken him from Leicester City’s youth ranks to Rangers, where his market value rose sharply, and then on to Ajax before his move to Fulham. He has experience in the Scottish Premiership, Eredivisie and Premier League, as well as now being linked with a possible switch to the Turkish Süper Lig.
Bassey’s market value has climbed steadily in recent years, reaching its current €28.00m level in late 2025, underlining how he is perceived in the European market. With his physical profile at 1.85m and versatility across the back line, he fits the profile of a defender capable of adapting to different leagues and styles.
If a transfer to Galatasaray does materialise, it could mark the next major step in Bassey’s career trajectory, offering a new stage on which to enhance his reputation and further test his potential.
