Leeds United and Galatasaray are both vying for the signature of Norwich City’s Brazilian playmaker Gabriel Sara. Reports suggest that Galatasaray has officially contacted Norwich for the talented midfielder, while Leeds had a £5m offer turned down. Norwich is adamant that they won’t let Sara go unless their £20m valuation is met, especially considering his contract runs until 2026.
Sara, who reportedly wants to stay in England, may lean towards Leeds as his preferred destination. However, Galatasaray’s Champions League qualification could sway his decision. To secure his services, Leeds will need to increase their offer significantly and may need to sell players to fund the transfer.
Sara has been a standout performer for Norwich, showcasing his left foot and set piece prowess in numerous games. The Brazilian’s impact on the team has been significant, earning praise from former manager David Wagner. Current boss Johannes Hoff Thorup remains tight-lipped about the transfer rumors, adding an air of uncertainty to Sara’s future.
As transfer talks continue, one thing is clear – both Leeds United and Galatasaray are eager to sign the talented playmaker.
