Galatasaray reportedly eye Lang as January replacement for Sané
Leroy Sané has yet to score or assist in Istanbul, and the Turkish club are said to be weighing a return for the Dutchman. Napoli are willing to negotiate at €15-20m.
Galatasaray are reportedly considering selling Leroy Sané as early as the January window, and Noa Lang is said to be the man they have in mind to replace him. The German winger, formerly of Bayern Munich, has not scored or provided an assist so far across the league and the Champions League.
It would be a return for Lang, who was born in 1999. He spent January to June 2026 on loan in Istanbul and helped Galatasaray win the Turkish title. The club were already among those linked with him, along with Ajax, Atalanta and Genoa.

For Napoli, the numbers still hurt. The club paid PSV €25m plus add-ons in the summer of 2025, then loaned him to Turkey after six months. Now they are willing to sell for €15-20m. After the whistles and his finger-to-the-ear gesture in the Lazio match, his relationship with the fanbase is broken. But a sale at that price also confirms the signing was a mistake, and the player is not the only one to blame.
The window reopens on Saturday 2 January. Until then Lang remains a Napoli player, and Torino visit the Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday 21 November.
