Super Lig 2026/27: Greenwood, Salah and the Biggest Summer Transfers

Super Lig 2026/27: Greenwood, Salah and the Biggest Summer Transfers Football fans in Turkey have plenty to look forward to this season, with the Super Lig likely to deliver a truly memorable title race. Galatasaray will once again be one of the title favourites ahead of the new campaign as they strive to win their fifth consecutive championship. However, judging by the transfer business conducted this summer, several clubs are pulling out all the stops to knock them off their perch. Read on as we assess some of the major Super Lig transfer moves this summer. Super Lig 2026/27 – Top summer transfers These are the top transfers completed to date in the Super Lig (Tuesday, August 11). Fenerbahce mean business this season Fenerbahce have not won the title since 2013/14, but seem determined to end that lengthy drought this time around. Their €39 million acquisition of Mason Greenwood from Marseille is the biggest summer transfer completed in Turkey to date. Greenwood bagged 37 goals and 13 assists in 66 Ligue 1 appearances and should be amongst the most prolific forwards in Super Lig this term. Fenerbahce have made several other noteworthy additions to their squad, including Kosovan international forward Vedat Muriqi. Having joined Real Mallorca on loan during the winter transfer window of the 2021/22 season, he subsequently became the club’s all-time top goalscorer. He finished last season as La Liga’s second-highest goalscorer with 23 goals, and he could be a good bet to top the scoring charts in Turkey this season. The Turkish giants have also strengthened defensively, with Nathan Ake joining the club following a hugely successful six-year spell with Manchester City. Fenerbahce will undoubtedly fancy their chances of overhauling Galatasaray this season, but will face stiff competition from elsewhere. Besiktas have boosted their squad with several shrewd summer signings, including midfielder Orkun Kokco and winger Leandro Trossard, who has signed from Arsenal . However, Trabzonspor could ultimately prove to be the biggest threat to Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the Super Lig title race. They finished eight points adrift of top spot last term, but could mount a more sustained challenge in this season’s title race. After making several under-the-radar moves during the summer transfer window, Trabzonspor signed former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah . The 34-year-old was linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer, but has completed an unlikely move to Turkey. Salah is Trabzonspor’s biggest-ever signing, and the hysteria around his arrival may transform the landscape in Turkish football. The Egyptian international will offer huge commercial upside to Trabzonspor and could potentially help them upset the established order in the Super Lig.
