Noa Lang completes loan move to Galatasaray
Noa Lang landed in Istanbul on January 22, 2026, and was met by an enthusiastic crowd of Galatasaray supporters. The Dutch winger said, “I’m very happy to be here,” and praised the scale and ambition of his new club as he prepares to join on loan from Napoli.
Why the move happened
Lang joined Napoli from PSV Eindhoven in July for a reported €25m plus bonuses but struggled for minutes under Antonio Conte. Across all competitions he made 27 appearances, finding the net once and registering two assists, with just nine starts. Napoli have agreed a loan deal that reportedly includes an option to buy for around €30m.
What Galatasaray get
Galatasaray add a pacey, direct winger capable of stretching defences and creating chances down the flank. Even with underwhelming numbers at Napoli, Lang’s technical ability and willingness to take defenders on fit the club’s attacking profile and could immediately boost their threat in domestic and continental competitions.
Impact on Napoli and squad movement
Lang’s departure marks another outgoing this transfer window for Napoli. The move gives the player a fresh opportunity for regular minutes while allowing Napoli to free up squad space and potentially recover part of their summer outlay if the option is exercised.
Betting implications
Lang’s arrival increases Galatasaray’s attacking options, making win and goals markets more attractive for punters. Expect sharper odds on Galatasaray victories and over 2.5 goals in matches he features in; consider Lang for anytime scorer or assist markets as he seeks to rediscover form and confidence.
