The Levante UD faces a new development regarding Karl Etta Eyong, a 22-year-old forward, after Galatasaray has shown interest in signing him. The Spanish transfer window is closed, but the Turkish club still has the possibility to make transfers and considers the Cameroonian attacker among its options.

Eyong remains at Orriols after rejecting exit opportunities during the final days of the transfer window. The forward is under contract with Levante until June 30, 2029, so any transfer will depend on reaching an economic agreement with the Valencia-based club.

Levante UD has already received interest in Etta Eyong

The emergence of Galatasaray comes after the closure of the transfer window where several teams inquired about Karl Etta Eyong's situation. Valencia made an inquiry about the forward due to their need for a striker, but the player chose to remain at Ciutat de València.

This situation was not new for Levante UD. During the summer, Ipswich Town also made an approach, and in the final days of the transfer window, more clubs were interested in the Cameroonian. Additionally, in January, Levante turned down an offer from Russian football close to 25 million euros.

The forward's contract provides room for negotiation for the club. Eyong arrived from Villarreal in September 2025 in a transfer worth around 3 million euros and signed a four-season deal. Villarreal retained a right of first refusal and a percentage on a future sale.

His market value was at 15 million euros in the last June update, while an economic report from Levante had raised its internal valuation to 20 million euros in the previous season.

Why didn't Etta Eyong sign with Valencia CF and instead chose Levante UD?

Galatasaray opens a new path for Levante UD

The landscape changes now as the Turkish market still allows room for negotiation. Galatasaray's interest means Eyong's future remains open even though Spanish clubs can no longer sign players through regular market operations.

Sportingly, the forward has started the 2026/27 season with a secondary role. After the first three LaLiga matches, he has played 3 games, 64 minutes, and provided an assist, without being a starter. His assist came in the 5-2 win against Real Betis.

Competition in attack has also intensified. Levante recently brought in Petar Ratkov, on loan from Lazio with a purchase option, and also has Iván Romero, Yanis Musuayi, and other offensive resources within the squad.

The next move depends on whether Turkish interest turns into a formal offer. Levante UD is not under immediate contractual pressure to sell Eyong due to his link until 2029, while the player has already chosen to stay at Orriols despite recent offers. An offer from the Istanbul club would force the parties to reconsider their positions before Turkey's transfer window closes.
