Türkiye: Galatasaray Have Rejected a Move for Kevin de Bruyne After the Belgian Midfielder Was Offered to the Turkish Club by Agents

The 35-year-old, who left Manchester City to join Napoli, was proposed to the Istanbul side as they search for a new number 10 ahead of the new season. However, Galatasaray turned down the deal due to De Bruyne's declining performance. The experienced playmaker made 21 appearances for the Italian club last season, scoring five goals and providing four assists.

Galatasaray, who have only signed Lesley Ugochukwu so far this summer, are continuing their transfer plans ahead of the league's start. The club's management is reportedly looking to bring in a clear name for the attacking midfield position. The decision comes as the four-time defending Turkish champions look to strengthen their squad after a quiet transfer window.

De Bruyne joined Napoli after his departure from Manchester City, but his form has dipped in recent months. Galatasaray's management has been in talks with several candidates for the number 10 role but has now ruled out a move for the Belgian star. The club remains active in the market as they prepare for the upcoming season, with further signings expected before the transfer window closes.
