Valencia could be facing an unexpected departure in this transfer window. Cenk Özkacar, the Turkish center-back who joined the club in 2023 for a fee close to five million euros, is on Galatasaray's radar. The young defender has caught the attention of the Istanbul side, which has placed him as one of their priorities to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season, also motivated by regulatory issues that limit the presence of foreign players in the squad.

Cenk Özkacar, Galatasaray's Target

At 24 years old, the Turkish international has alternated between starting and being on the bench at Mestalla, showing good moments but failing to establish himself as an undisputed piece. He has also not shone during his loan spell at Real Valladolid. Despite this, the coaching staff had faith in his future progression. However, pressure from Turkey and Galatasaray's interest have changed the landscape. The possibility of obtaining a significant amount for his transfer is starting to be seen in Valencia's offices as a viable option.

The Turkish club has expedited negotiations in recent days, knowing that having a national player helps them build the squad to meet the federation's requirements. They also see in Özkacar a safe bet due to his knowledge of the local league and his youth, which allows for sustained performance over several years. The player, on his part, would not be averse to returning to his country to play for a top-level team.

Cenk appreciates the interest shown by Galatasaray, one of Turkey's giants, and would be willing to listen to the proposal. Those around him believe that returning to the Super Lig could be a significant step in his professional growth, especially if he arrives with a leading role in a club that aims for titles every season.
