Senegalese midfielder Pape Gueye’s potential move to Galatasaray in Türkiye remains far from being finalized, despite recent speculation linking him to the Turkish club.
Gueye, who scored the decisive goal for Senegal in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco, has also been in strong form for Villarreal since the start of the season.
His performances have attracted attention across Europe, with several clubs reportedly monitoring his progress.
Recent reports suggested that Gueye’s transfer to Galatasaray had already been agreed. However, according to journalist Khadim Diakhaté, these claims are inaccurate.
No formal agreement has been reached between the player, his representatives, and the Turkish club.
The 27-year-old’s entourage has publicly denied any completed signing, emphasizing that negotiations are still at an early stage.
Despite this, interest from Galatasaray remains genuine. The Istanbul-based club continues to view Gueye as a priority target as they look to strengthen their squad during the winter transfer window.
Gueye joined Villarreal from Marseille and has established himself as a key figure in the Spanish side’s midfield.
Known for his defensive awareness, passing ability, and ability to contribute in crucial moments, the Senegal international has developed a reputation as a reliable and versatile player.
While a move to Türkiye could represent a new chapter in Gueye’s career, sources indicate that both sides are still far from reaching common ground on contract terms or transfer fees.
Negotiations, if they continue, are expected to be closely watched by European clubs given the midfielder’s recent form and high-profile performances at international level.
For now, Gueye remains focused on his club duties with Villarreal, continuing to build on a strong season in La Liga. Any potential move to Galatasaray will depend on the coming weeks of discussion, with nothing official confirmed at this stage.
