According to Sky Sports, Galatasaray has identified Bosnian forward Serdar Demirbey as a top target and submitted an official offer to Stuttgart, though it was only €15 million.

Fenerbahçe's interest in Demirbey was also mentioned, after which the club issued a clear denial. Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß was very unhappy about this in late July, telling Bild: "I felt very unsettled at that time, and to be honest, it was quite annoying because some reports were inaccurate." Hoeneß stated that he wants Stuttgart to always have the best players, "and Serdar is one of our best players."

Before the official announcement, Demirbey said something similar. He said he was ready to face new challenges and remain at Stuttgart. Speaking about his new teammates, he said: "They can come; I welcome them." Regarding his future plans, Demirbey stated: "I want to help the team, I want to score as many goals as possible, and I'm committed to moving forward continuously towards a successful season."

He is also looking forward to representing Stuttgart in the Champions League next season and is especially hoping to face an English team. "I hope we draw an English team; that would be great. I'd love to play against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium," Demirbey said.

This does not seem to signal that he wants to leave Stuttgart. The club values Demirbey highly, even though Sky Sports reports that he is not completely unsellable. Galatasaray is reportedly ready to offer the German international player a significantly higher after-tax salary for 3 to 4 years.

The Turkish Süper Lig giant also has former Bayern star Leroy Sané and former German national team captain Ilkay Gündoğan in their squad.
