Galatasaray have signed Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakır from Trabzonspor for a transfer fee worth up to 36 million euros ($42.15 million), the Super Lig clubs announced on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

The 29-year-old, who has played 31 times for his country since his debut against Greece in 2019, has signed a deal that will keep him at Galatasaray until the end of the 2029-30 season. 

Super Lig champions Galatasaray also signed Ivory Coast defender Wilfried Singo from AS Monaco for 30.8 million euros and striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli during the transfer window.

Nigerian international Osimhen was on loan at Galatasaray last season and made his move permanent at the end of July for a Turkish record 75 million euros, according to Reuters.

Amanda Anisimova found her best tennis under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium and cruised past Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-0 6-3 on Monday to set up a U.S. Open quarter-final against Iga Swiatek.

The 24-year-old American said she was pleased to get the chance to earn some payback for her crushing 6-0 6-0 loss to the world number two in the Wimbledon final in July, Reuters reported.

"Who would've thought we'd meet again so soon?" said eighth seed Anisimova. "I'm super excited. It's going to be a great match... I hope, this time."

The American broke 18th seed Haddad Maia's serve three times to close out the opening set in under half an hour.

She took control in the second by breaking in the opening game, but the Brazilian finally got on the scoreboard by breaking back after some lapses from the American, according to Reuters.

The U.S. Open's Labour Day Monday morning session belonged to the underdogs, as Naomi Osaka and Felix Auger-Aliassime delivered commanding performances that carried them back to Grand Slam quarter-finals after years in the wilderness, Reuters reported.

Osaka looked every bit the four-time major champion while dismantling third seed Coco Gauff 6-3 6-2 in just 64 minutes, reaching her first Flushing Meadows quarter-final in five years with a display that mixed power with poise at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

"I'm a little sensitive. I don't want to cry. I had so much fun out here," said Osaka, whose smile never left her face during the dominant victory, according to Reuters.

"A big thank you to my team. We've been through a lot, it hasn't been easy but they have been by my side."

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi’s proposed transfer to Liverpool collapsed on Monday despite the Premier League champion agreeing a reported 35 million pounds ($47.28 million) deal for the England international, British media said, Reuters reported.

The 25-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was reported to have undergone a medical in London ahead of the move but now looks set to stay at Selhurst Park.

Palace captain Guehi scored in his side’s 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday, after which manager Oliver Glasner made it clear he did not want the defender to leave.

“This is our captain. We have to keep him. I told this to the chairman (Steve Parish),” Glasner said on Sunday, according to Reuters.
