Fulham have made enquiries about Gabriel Sara, as interest in the Brazilian midfielder continues to grow following his strong spell at Galatasaray.
According to reporting from Brazilian outlet Trivela, the London club have contacted the player’s camp in the past few days.
Fulham are not alone, although no other English sides have been named at this stage. We know Sunderland and Leeds were recently mentioned in other reports. But most importantly, the interest has not yet progressed to a formal bid.
Sara, now 26-years-old, has been monitored by Premier League clubs since his move to Turkey in 2024. Before last season even began, he had already drawn attention from elite sides such as Manchester City and Manchester United. However, those clubs are not in talks with the midfielder in the current window.
Galatasaray paid €18m to sign Sara from Norwich City, where he spent two seasons after leaving São Paulo. Since arriving in Istanbul, he has won both the Turkish league and the Turkish Cup, lifting two trophies in his first year. That impact has reignited Premier League attention.
Fulham can cover high salary if required
Previously, Sara’s high salary in Turkey limited options to Big Six sides only. Now, clubs have returned with fresh enquiries. Fulham see him as a potential solution after selling Andreas Pereira last August.
Sara never played in the Premier League during his time in England, featuring instead in the Championship. He made 96 appearances for Norwich, scoring 21 goals and providing 17 assists. His 2023-24 season stood out, with 25 goal contributions in 46 matches, including a play-off push.
The midfielder remains under contract at Galatasaray until 2029, and for now his next step remains open.
