Etta Eyong, a 22-year-old Cameroonian forward and current player for Levante UD, has been offered to Galatasaray during this summer transfer window. The Turkish club is seeking an attacker following the departure of Mauro Icardi, although there is no formal offer or open negotiation with the Valencia-based team yet.

The economic scenario will depend on Levante's stance. The club rejected a €30 million proposal for the player during the winter transfer window, but the absence of a bidding war among multiple buyers could reduce the required amount to facilitate his departure.

Etta Eyong on Galatasaray's Radar

Galatasaray is exploring alternatives to bolster its attack after confirming Icardi's departure, whose contract expired on June 30, 2026. The Argentine left the team having scored 77 goals in 134 matches during his four seasons in Istanbul.

In this context, Etta Eyong's name has emerged. The forward has been linked to the Turkish club due to his age, experience in LaLiga, and his remaining contract term, having signed for four seasons upon joining Levante in 2025.

Currently, the potential transfer is at an early stage. There is no formal offer to Levante or an agreement between Galatasaray and the player's representatives. The next step lies with the Turkish sporting directorate, who must decide whether to turn the initial offer into formal discussions.

Eyong concluded the 2025/26 season with 33 appearances, seven goals, and four assists in the Spanish league. He played 1,672 minutes and directly contributed to 11 goals, maintaining his presence in the forward market.

Levante UD to Reassess Transfer Fee

The player's valuation has shifted over the past year. Initially, figures around €20 million were mentioned at the season's start, but Levante subsequently received a €30 million offer from Russian football.

The club was willing to accept the proposal from CSKA Moscow, but the forward did not give his approval. The sporting directorate later explained that all parties had to agree to the move, and the player's refusal prevented the transfer in January.

The Levante management views Eyong as one of its most valuable assets. The forward arrived from Villarreal CF after scoring 19 goals in 30 games with the Yellow Submarine's reserve team and two goals in seven appearances for the first team.

Levante has the contractual leverage to negotiate without immediately accepting a cut, but it acknowledges its position as a selling club. A proposal satisfying both the club and the player could generate income to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.

Competition for the Forward in LaLiga

Interest in Etta Eyong extends beyond Turkish football. Ipswich Town inquired about his availability in June but did not submit a formal offer. Furthermore, reports have linked Olympique de Lyon as one among the clubs monitoring the Cameroonian forward.

This competition may prevent his price from dropping as originally anticipated. However, Eyong's performance lost consistency after his promising start to the season, and a bidding war expected by Levante has not materialized yet.

The next step will be to see if Galatasaray agrees to explore a definitive deal and initiates discussions with the Valencia-based club. Until a concrete proposal emerges, Etta Eyong will continue preseason with Levante UD and remain available for the commencement of LaLiga.
