Galatasaray open transfer negotiations with RB Leipzig for El Chadaille Bitshiabu

Galatasaray SK have initiated discussions with RB Leipzig regarding a potential transfer for defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu. The 21-year-old joined the Bundesliga club in the summer of 2023 following a professional career at Paris Saint-Germain. Bitshiabu faced initial setbacks due to injury, limiting his playing time during his debut campaign. Although his participation increased in the following season, he returned to a limited role during the 2025-26 term, appearing in only 14 total matches. With his contract at the Saxon club running until 2029, a late-window move could provide the former French Under-20 international with an opportunity to secure more consistent playing time elsewhere.
