Galatasaray want £33 million for Gabriel Sara

According to a report, Galatasaray have told Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Everton that signing Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara could require an offer starting at around £33 million. The report says the Turkish club are prepared to consider offers.

Aston Villa have been tracking the player for months, having considered signing him in the summer as an alternative to Youri Tielemans. The club are assessing their options ahead of the January 2027 winter transfer window, with strengthening the midfield among Unai Emery’s priorities. But the report says a figure closer to £25 million could be enough to complete the deal, and notes that Sara, aged 27, has previously played in England for Norwich City in the Championship.

Villa are not the only club interested; Newcastle and Everton are also monitoring the player’s situation. Newcastle are looking for more experience in midfield after the departure of important players, while Everton continue to explore options to strengthen their midfield despite their recent additions. The report says the number of interested clubs could make the race for Sara a keenly contested one.
