The priority goal of Galatasaray in the transfer market is the defender of Shakhtar and the national team of Ukraine Yaroslav Rakitsky.

Coach of the leader of the championship of Turkey Igor Tudor considers Yaroslav Rakitsky an ideal addition for the defense of Galatasaray.

The reason for the increased interest in Rakytsky was the fact that Tudor has no left-footed defenders. Ryan Donk, who has a left working leg, does not meet the requirements of the coach, has not spent a single minute in the Turkish championship and is likely to leave Galatasaray in the winter.

In addition, according to Fanatik, the Croatian specialist very much relies on Rakitsky's universalism and does not exclude his use on the left flank when switching to a game of three defenders.

The contract of Rakitsky with Shakhtar is calculated till 2022. Transfermarkt. de assesses the Ukrainian defender at 9 million euros.
