Senegal international Pape Gueye is on the verge of joining Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray in the current winter transfer window, a development that would see him bring his La Liga journey to an end.
Gueye, who is in the books of Villarreal has attracted significant interest in the ongoing window following an impressive display at the recently concluded AFCON 2025 tournament, where he inspired the Taranga Lions triumph over Morocco.
With both parties reaching an agreement in principle, the highly-rated midfielder is expected to switch to Galatasaray before the closure of the window.
The two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner with Senegal is expected to put pen to paper on a four-year deal, marking his first stint in Turkish football.
Gueye has been a key figure for Villarreal this season, contributing two goals and one assist in 14 league appearances, performances that have helped attract strong interest from Istanbul.
At the just ended AFCON, Gueye emerged as the hero for Senegal scoring a solo goal in extra-time to lead the Taranga Lions to the second title on the continent.
The 27-year-old has made 39 appearances for the Senegal national team since making his debut in 2021, scoring six goals across the period.
