It is hard to say which club will be the most happy or unexpected in this summer window - Manchester City won this year because of high efficiency, especially in the summer window, three new players have been identified; Liverpool has strong lies in courage, and they have defeated Wilz in one fell swoop, it seems that they have ideas for the new season.

But when the focus of attention is on the five major leagues, a giant from the Turkish Super League can undoubtedly be regarded as the most active and surprising team in this summer's transfer window - Galatasaray. After leveraging the German striker Sane, whose contract expired with Bayern, strongly leveraged away, this seemed to be just the beginning of Galatasaray. After all, judging from the news given by major foreign media, after successfully advancing to the new season's Champions League as the Turkish Super League champion last season, this team has many ideas!

Galatasaray, who ended in the Champions League playoff last season, looks like he is going to make a fuss in the Champions League in the new season. Although Galatasaray achieved the team's first domestic double championship since the 18/19 season and successfully achieved three consecutive league championships, they were undoubtedly full of regrets who were double-killed by Bern's young men in two games in the Champions League playoffs and missed the main game.

At least, the huge prize money for the Champions League quietly left. Therefore, when the 24/25 season ended, Galatasaray seemed particularly active and excited, which was mainly reflected in the team's summer window signings and the specific feasibility goals they set - aiming at free agents whose contracts are about to expire, as well as veterans and giant stars in the five major leagues that may leave the team at a low price.

So, as the first team to sign up this summer, Sane undoubtedly started the crazy that the team wanted in the future!

Who will be next?

News from 365SCORES shows that both Gundogan and Martin from the Big One have come into the team's vision. Moreover, this is not the end. According to the Turkish media Sportcell, Galatasaray has offered Calhanoglu an annual salary of 10 million euros to invite him to join!

The experienced veterans and midfielders and goalkeepers in their years of playing, Galatasaray seems to be full of sincerity and will surely win.

But there is actually! Reports from many German media have shown that almost all the interest and ability to gain the four players Bayern hopes to clean up this summer - Boe, Gretzka, Kim Min-jae and Koeman, and Galatasaray.

However, Boe may be on loan (whether to buy out is to be determined), and other players can indeed be reached in minutes as long as Bayern’s asking price is not excessive and the players themselves are willing (at the moment, Kim Min-jae may be more difficult because the players expressed their opinions that they do not want to return to Turkey).

But if Galatasaray is really so strong this summer, will Fenerbahce, led by Mourinho, still be expected to compete for the championship?

Fenerbahce, who has been second for four consecutive years and has even been only 3 points away from the championship, what else can Mourinho bring to the team?

Fenerbahce is the runner-up in the league for four consecutive years from 21/22 to 24/25 (the minimum difference is 3 points and the maximum difference is 11 points). Moreover, although they were only the third place in the league in the 20/21 season, they were only 3 points away from champion Besiktas.

So, when Mourinho came to Turkey last year, everyone thought they would see the "rebirth" of the Magic Bird in Turkey, but unfortunately the score difference was even wider and the Cup was not won.

Can Fenerbahce break through the qualifying round and finally go to the main game? If we only look at Mourinho's relatively solidified coaching philosophy and Fenerbahce's not outstanding configuration, it is likely that the team will still be difficult.

Moreover, although Fenerbahce has also expressed intentions with Walker and Damian and others, it seems difficult to help the team take a step further in terms of performance.

But what if Neymar comes? According to the latest news from Turkish media Fanatik and independent news website Football Talk, Fenerbahce may provide Neymar with a 1+1 contract to invite him to join.

No matter what any famous coach is, what he actually needs is the arrival of the stars to highlight the greater value of tactics, and Mourinho is no exception.

But what choice can Fenerbahce provide him to adjust his lineup?
