Transfer focus: Galatasaray shocks with Messi?

According to Mirror , Galatasaray plans to loan Messi for 3 months, lasting from January to April 2026. That is the time when Messi has a 3-month break after completing the MLS Cup tournament with Inter Miami. Some sources in Turkey revealed that Galatasaray is mobilizing resources to be ready to pay Messi's full salary.

Galatasaray believes Messi will consider a short-term transfer offer, with the aim of maintaining his playing time to warm up for the 2026 World Cup. If Messi and Inter Miami agree to a loan deal, Galatasaray may have to compete fiercely with many other clubs.

Historically, there have been stars from the MLS who have transferred in a similar fashion, including David Beckham and Thierry Henry.

Galatasaray is dominating the Turkish league with its financial resources. The club owns striker Victor Osimhen, who is paid up to 250,000 pounds/week. In addition, Galatasaray is also the destination of Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan in the summer transfer window this year.

Messi has decided to sign a contract with Inter Miami until 2028. When he completes his contract at Inter Miami, Messi will be 41 years old. That is also the time when the captain of the Argentina national team considers it appropriate to consider retiring.

The mid-season summer transfer window in Europe is still a month away, but clubs are already making plans to recruit players. Galatasaray's offer to loan Messi is the hottest transfer news at the moment. Next, the European winter market is heated up by the future of Endrick.

The prodigy Endrick is burying his career at Real Madrid. Since the beginning of the season, Endrick has only played 1 match in La Liga and has not contributed anything. For the goal of participating in the 2026 World Cup, Endrick must find a way out to have a chance to play.

According to Bein Sport, many clubs are closely monitoring Endrick. Marseille and Lyon are both ready to recruit the Brazilian prodigy on loan. Previously, British media reported that MU had expressed interest in borrowing Endrick but the deal quickly collapsed.

Also related to Real Madrid, the future of Vinicius Junior has begun to make the press "splash ink". According to Bild, Real's board of directors decided to sell Vinicius after the Brazilian star reacted strongly to coach Xabi Alonso in the El Clasico match. On the other hand, Real is powerless to take advantage of the talents of both Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe.

Real Madrid are offering £150 million to any club that wants to sign Vinicius, and the deal could happen as early as the new year. With the huge transfer fee and Vinicius' salary, only clubs in Saudi Arabia are willing to meet the demand.
