Younes Belhanda’s time at Galatasaray appears to be coming to an end. Following a difficult period with the club, including a high-profile meltdown against Real Madrid in the Champions League, the Moroccan midfielder has fallen out of favor with both the fans and management.
According to reports from the Turkish press, the Istanbul-based club is actively considering parting ways with the 29-year-old playmaker during the upcoming January transfer window. The decision reflects Galatasaray’s desire to move on from a player whose recent performances have failed to meet expectations.
A transfer fee has already been set for potential suitors. Any club interested in acquiring Belhanda will need to pay €8.5 million, signaling the club’s intent to finalize his departure while recouping a portion of their investment.
Coach Fatih Terim has reportedly given his approval for Belhanda’s exit, clearing the way for negotiations and making the January window a key period for the Moroccan international to secure a new challenge.
Belhanda, who previously impressed at Montpellier before moving abroad, now faces a pivotal moment in his career. A successful transfer could offer him a fresh start and an opportunity to rediscover the form that made him a standout player in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Galatasaray aims to restructure its squad and move past a turbulent chapter, with the club and coach aligned in their decision to let the Atlas Lion leave.
