In this transfer window, Stoke City has been searching across various European leagues for signings that can help them in the upcoming EFL Championship season. The goal is to secure a playoff spot and compete strongly for promotion back to the Premier League.
The player in question is Emin Bayram, a central defender currently playing for Galatasaray, where he is under contract until June 2026. Stoke City aims to reach an agreement to sign this defender, who is valued at just 4 million euros.

A Brilliant Central Defender Prospect
At just 21 years old, Emin Bayram is a great football prospect. He currently excels defensively, leveraging his 1.92m height to provide great security at the back despite his young age. He has accumulated significant playing time as a professional footballer.
Bayram has also progressed through the youth divisions of his national team and is expected to soon step up to the senior team. He is one of the most sought-after young players in European football today, thanks to his impressive future prospects.
Stoke City have retained their interest from last summer in Galatasaray defender Emin Bayram.

As a professional, he has played 94 matches, scored 4 goals, and provided 2 assists as a central defender. Last season, he was on loan at KVC Westerlo from Galatasaray, where he played 23 matches, scored 1 goal, and provided 2 assists.
While Galatasaray wishes to retain Bayram, interest from various European clubs has prompted them to listen to offers. Stoke City is among the interested teams. More information on this rumor is expected in the coming days, as Stoke City's primary focus remains on signing an attacker.
