Galatasaray is showing keen interest in the Congolese Noah Sadiki!

Galatasaray are already mapping out their winter transfer plans, and they appear ready to reignite their pursuit of Noah Sadiki. The Istanbul-based club are eager to add depth to their midfield ranks and, according to Fotomaç, have placed the young DR Congo international on their radar. The 21-year-old currently features for Sunderland in the Premier League, having departed Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2025.

Tremendous tactical versatility

Sadiki offers a versatile profile, capable of operating either as a defensive midfielder or in a box-to-box role. The source highlights his ball-winning abilities, his tireless work rate and his knack for contributing to build-up play. Such attributes are said to align with the expectations of Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk.

The Turkish club's hierarchy are reportedly planning to travel to England in January in order to make progress on the deal. Sadiki also has the advantage of being under 23 years of age — a factor that would see him fit within the club's recruitment criteria.

Sunderland had prised the Congolese midfielder away from Union Saint-Gilloise for a fee in the region of €17million back in 2025. According to Fotomaç, the English outfit would now be seeking a sum in excess of that figure. With Sadiki's contract running until 2030, Sunderland find themselves negotiating from a position of considerable strength.
