Transfers and loans
Due to breach of the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations, Galatasaray and UEFA agreed on a settlement lasting until the end of the 2021–22 season. This meant that the club had a calculated restriction on the number of new transfers it could include within the first team squad for the purposes of participation in UEFA club competitions. This calculation was based on the club's net transfer position in each respective registration period covered by the settlement agreement.
