He then came to an agreement with the Turkish first division club Gençlerbirliği Ankara , where he most recently wore the captain's armband and won the 2001 cup. For the 2001/2002 season he moved to Galatasaray Istanbul , where he immediately became Turkish champion . He is tech-savvy and very good at closing.

When Ümit Karan should be loaned out, he decided against the offers from the Bundesliga and signed with the then promoted Ankaraspor right on time for the second half of the season opener in the Turkish Süper Lig . The capital city agreed with Galatasaray on a loan deal until summer 2005 with an option to buy. After the loan, Ankaraspor's purchase option was not drawn and so he returned to Galatasaray Istanbul.

In the 2006/2007 season he scored 24 goals in 39 competitive games - 2,897 minutes (including 32 games in the regular formation).

In the 2007/2008 season he was again champion with Galatasaray, but scored only 11 goals in 30 league games.

For the 2009/2010 season he moved to Eskişehirspor on a free transfer . Karan ended his active football career at the end of the 2010/11 season. Eskişehirspor then hired him as a sports director. In July 2011 he was arrested on suspicion of match fixing.
