Galatasaray is considering making a last-minute transfer move for West Ham United defender Emerson, according to Sabah. The Turkish club is looking to bolster their left-back options and has added the 30-year-old Italian to their list of targets.
West Ham values Emerson at around £10.1 million (€12 million), and his contract at the London Stadium expires in the summer of 2026. It is unclear whether the Hammers would be open to selling Emerson before the Turkish transfer window closes on Friday.
Emerson is a key player for West Ham, and losing him would be a significant blow, especially given the club’s lack of defensive depth. The only natural left-back alternative is Aaron Cresswell, who is 34 and hasn’t been a regular starter in the Premier League for several years.
If Galatasaray makes a big-money offer, West Ham might consider selling Emerson, who is in the final two years of his contract. However, the Hammers will likely try to resist any last-minute offers and keep Emerson at the club. If they do sell him, they may need to sign a free agent or two to replace him.
