Galatasaray kicked off their Super League season with a 3-0 win over Gaziantep FK, leaving coach Okan Buruk full of praise for his squad’s energy and focus — www.naijnaira.com reports. Barış Alper Yılmaz shone up front with decisive goals and relentless work, while Yunus impressed in his return from injury.

According to AA, Buruk revealed Victor Osimhen was left out due to limited training time, explaining, “Playing him now could have been risky… he preferred to rest and target the next match.” The coach also commended Sane’s strong second-half display despite the draining heat.

Buruk confirmed goalkeeper transfer talks are ongoing, stressing the need for quality to replace long-serving Fernando Muslera. “We want a goalkeeper who will suit Galatasaray,” he said, while applauding Günay’s recent performances.
