Date: June 20, 2023

Galatasaray, the Turkish football club, has expressed interest in signing Jhon Córdoba, a 30-year-old Colombian striker who currently plays for FC Krasnodar in Russia. According to exclusive information from Transfermarkt, Galatasaray is keen on securing the star signing of Córdoba, despite his contract with Krasnodar running until mid-2025.

Córdoba’s priority is to play in the upcoming Champions League, which has accelerated talks of a potential transfer. Although the salary figures are high, Galatasaray is willing to match the amount and make a move in the summer market. The Colombian striker had an impressive season, scoring 21 goals in 30 games during the 2022/2023 season, making him the top Colombian

What impact could Córdoba’s desire to play in the Champions League have on his potential move to Galatasaray

Galatasaray’s interest in Jhon Córdoba could see the striker move to Turkey from Krasnodar in Russia. While Córdoba is under contract with Krasnodar until mid-2025, his desire to play in the Champions League could hasten a move to Galatasaray. Despite the high salary demands, Galatasaray is willing to match the figure in order to secure the Colombian forward in the summer transfer window.

Córdoba had an impressive season in 22/23, scoring 21 goals in 30 games and becoming the leading Colombian goalscorer in Europe. Krasnodar paid a record-breaking fee of 20 million euros to acquire him from Hertha Berlin, and he has since scored 27 goals for the Russian club. However, it seems that Galatasaray’s offer may fall short of Krasnodar’s expectations, making it difficult for Córdoba to make the move to Turkey for the 23/24 campaign.

While Galatasaray is reportedly offering around eight million euros, less than half of what Krasnodar paid for him, there are other factors to consider. Córdoba is over 30 years old and has not yet made his debut for the Colombian National Team. Additionally, his contract until mid-2025 means that his value is likely to decrease over time. Therefore, it may become increasingly difficult for Krasnodar to recover their investment in the future.
