If so, I really like what Galatasaray are doing here. They are putting together a team that can absolutely contend to be in the final four of UCL. And, if you get to the semis, you just need one favorable result to go your way, and you could be hoisting the trophy and taking home the silverware.

I think we’ll start to see this as a new trend. A club that is a bit of a big fish in a small pond spending aggressively to get top notch players specifically to contend in Champions League. And it makes good sense. They don’t need to worry about balancing schedules. For the most part, they can focus on the CL games and let the league take care of itself. And, it has the added bonus of making more “lucrative” landing spots for players looking to make a name in Europe.
