Anthony Dennis is attracting interest from Galatasaray, with the Istanbul giants reported to be considering a move for the Göztepe defensive midfielder.
The 21-year-old Nigerian, currently valued at €5.00m on Transfermarkt, has been linked with a potential switch within the Süper Lig, with Göztepe the rumoured selling club and Galatasaray the possible destination. The speculation, logged on 22 December 2025, does not yet carry a clear probability rating, underlining that talks – if any – remain at an early or uncertain stage.
Dennis’s contractual situation at Göztepe is not publicly detailed, and there is no listed expiry date, leaving open several scenarios, including the possibility of him running down his deal and becoming a free agent if no agreement is reached. For now, though, the rumour centres on a transfer rather than a confirmed departure.
Born in Kaduna on 21 June 2004, the 1.79m midfielder operates primarily as a defensive midfielder and is right-footed. He moved from HB Academy Abuja in Nigeria to Göztepe’s U19 side in January 2023 before stepping up to the senior team that summer. Since then, his market value has risen sharply, climbing from €25,000 in late 2023 to its current €5.00m, reflecting his growing importance and potential.
Dennis has only played club football in Türkiye since leaving Nigeria, progressing through Göztepe’s youth and senior ranks into the Süper Lig. While detailed recent match statistics are not listed in the available data, his consistent revaluation through 2024 and 2025 suggests regular involvement and positive performances at senior level.
Should Galatasaray decide to formalise their interest, a move to one of Türkiye’s most decorated clubs would mark a major step in Dennis’s career and could significantly shape his reputation as one of Nigeria’s emerging midfield talents.
