Galatasaray linked with Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari

Swedish-Tunisian midfielder Yasin Ayari is the subject of a reported move from Brighton to Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray.

The 22-year-old central midfielder has a reported market value of €40m, while Brighton have him under contract until 30 June 2027. The possibility of a transfer is currently rated at 46%.

Ayari has made one Premier League appearance for Brighton this season, alongside two starts in Conference League qualifying. He also played all four of Sweden’s matches at the 2026 World Cup, scoring twice.

Brighton signed Ayari from Swedish club AIK on 30 January 2023 for a reported €4m. He spent the following season on loan, making temporary moves to Coventry and Blackburn before returning to the Premier League club.

The midfielder has been used centrally and remains part of Brighton’s first-team squad, although his current league involvement has been limited to 64 minutes. His contract means any departure would not be on a free transfer, with his deal due to expire at the end of the 2026-27 season.

There has been no confirmation that an agreement has been reached between Brighton and Galatasaray, and Ayari remains a Brighton player.
