Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa and Brighton in mix for Brazilian in January

Gabriel Sara preparing to leave Galatasaray in January; Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa and Brighton all interested, with Turkish club seeking €40m.

Gabriel Sara is reportedly preparing to leave Galatasaray in the January transfer window, with the Turkish club now willing to discuss a sale after refusing to let him go in the summer.

Four Premier League clubs have expressed interest: Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa and Brighton. The Brazilian midfielder, 27, spent two years at Norwich before joining Galatasaray in 2024, where he has continued to develop and attract attention from major European leagues.

Galatasaray are asking €40m (£33.3m) for Sara, though Turkish reports suggest €35m (£29.2m) could be enough to complete a deal. Italian clubs Napoli and Roma are also monitoring the situation. Newcastle and Everton have been linked with Sara for some time, while Aston Villa also have a history of interest.
