World Superbike champion Razgatlioglu is seeking an immediate MotoGP factory contract as he plans to transition to the new championship.

Kenan Sofuoglu, his manager, mentioned to GPOne that their aim is to join MotoGP in 2026.

"We will assess every option available to us."

"If we are unable to secure a suitable offer, we might continue participating in this championship."

"Right now, our main focus is on BMW, but we're uncertain about what the situation will be like after 2025."

"We need to assess the available options before deciding on our next steps."

"We are seeking an agreement and a partnership with the factory, similar to the arrangement that Jorge Martin has with Pramac."

"We're not looking for an arrangement similar to the one Marc Marquez has with Gresini."

"I mention this because Marc has significant backing and resources, whereas here in Turkey, we lack sponsorship and any substantial support."

This season, Razgatlioglu claimed victory in the World Superbike Championship after making the switch from Yamaha to BMW.

In the previous year, he had the opportunity to ride a Yamaha MotoGP motorcycle. However, this did not result in him switching to a different racing series. He has now parted ways with the Japanese manufacturer.

Every MotoGP manufacturer will be monitoring Razgatlioglu's performance in the WSBK due to his exceptional skills.

The MotoGP roster for 2025 has seen significant alterations, with the Pramac satellite team switching from Ducati to Yamaha.

It is uncertain what the situation will be in 2026 when Razgatlioglu intends to make the transition.
