According to a claim in the Turkish media, Galatasaray have made an opening bid for Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye.
After retaining the Turkish Super Lig title over a week ago, Cim Bom are now focused on the transfer window and Fotospor report they’ve made a €3.5m offer for the Senegal international.
Ndiaye will return to Stoke City after his loan spell with Galatasaray ends but the Turkish side are looking to keep him beyond this season.
It’s reported that Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim is keen to work with Ndiaye next season, but he’s told the club they shouldn’t panic at this stage of the window.
In recent weeks it’s been well documented Ndiaye doesn’t want to play in the Championship so the 28 year old will need to find himself a new club for next season.
Fotospor also claim Stoke City are looking to get €8m from the sale of Ndiaye, who they signed for €16m from Galatasaray 18 months ago.
