Galatasaray is reportedly in advanced discussions to sign 17-year-old winger Can Armando Güner from Borussia Mönchengladbach.The promising prospect, who is eligible to play as a domestic player in Turkey due to his Turkish citizenship, recently toured Galatasaray’s training facilities and is seen as a key target for the club’s upcoming transfer window. With several European clubs also monitoring the young talent, Galatasaray is hoping to finalize a deal for a relatively modest fee as Güner’s contract with Gladbach nears its expiration.
Galatasaray Targets Turkish-Argentine Winger Can Armando Güner
Galatasaray is moving quickly to bolster its squad for the second half of the season, bringing Turkish-Argentine winger Can Armando Güner to Istanbul as they eye a potential transfer. The 17-year-old, currently with Borussia Mönchengladbach, arrived to tour the club’s facilities, signaling a strong interest from both sides.
The Turkish Süper Lig club is planning to initiate formal transfer talks with Mönchengladbach after January 7, 2026, when Güner turns 18. The promising young player is nearing the end of his contract with the Bundesliga side, creating an opportunity for Galatasaray to secure his signature.
Mönchengladbach is reportedly open to a transfer during the winter window for a modest fee, estimated around €200,000, as they anticipate Güner will not sign a contract extension. This situation allows Galatasaray to potentially acquire a talented player at a reasonable cost.
Güner recently visited Galatasaray’s Kemerburgaz Metin Oktay Training Facilities, getting a firsthand look at the club’s infrastructure and demonstrating his enthusiasm for a potential move. He reportedly left impressed with the club’s vision for his development.
The player’s father, Adalet Güner, is a former footballer and educator, and is believed to be supportive of a move that would provide his son with consistent playing time. He sees Galatasaray as a strong platform for Can Armando’s continued growth.
Galatasaray isn’t the only European club tracking Güner, with Atletico Madrid also expressing significant interest in the young winger. Competition for his signature is expected to be fierce.
Born in Krefeld, Germany on January 7, 2008, Güner holds Turkish, Argentinian, and German passports, giving him multiple international options. Should he complete a move to Galatasaray, he would qualify as a domestic player under Turkish league rules.
Güner has impressed in youth action, recording 6 goals and 4 assists in 17 appearances for Gladbach’s U19 team. He also has a strong international pedigree, having represented both Germany (14 caps, 5 goals, 1 assist at the U16 and U17 levels) and Argentina (most recently in the 2018 U17 World Cup). His versatility and attacking prowess make him an exciting prospect for any club.
