Can Uzun has told teammates in the A Milli Takım camp that he is not thinking about a move to Türkiye for now, turning a long-running transfer chase into a clearer answer, at least for the moment.
The 2026 Dünya Kupası camp is where the question surfaced because Uzun is there now with A Milli Takım, and the timing matters for Galatasaray after its efforts to bring him in. He plays for Eintracht Frankfurt and remains one of the names Galatasaray has been following closely.
Fanatik reported that Uzun said, “Şimdilik Türkiye'ye gitmeyi düşünmüyorum,” a line that fits with the rest of the report: he wants to keep developing in Europe and does not currently view the Süper Lig as his next step. In other words, this is not a player weighing two equal options; it is a player whose present plan is tied to staying in Europe’s top leagues.
That does not end the pursuit. Galatasaray has been making efforts to transfer Uzun for some time, and the club is expected to keep tracking the situation closely. What remains open is whether that stance hardens into a longer-term decision or changes later, because for now the answer is simple enough: Uzun is staying put and looking ahead from Europe.
For Galatasaray, that makes the next phase less about a quick breakthrough and more about waiting to see whether the player’s view shifts. Until then, the story is not a completed transfer but a clear pause in one of the club’s most watched targets.
