Southampton midfielder Ibrahima Diallo is reportedly a summer target for Galatasaray.
It’s the Turkish media who writes that today, with Takvim featuring a piece on the plans the Istanbul side have for the transfer window.
Galatasaray are currently having to deal with interest on Lucas Torreira, as Serie A giants AC Milan are said to be interested in the Uruguayan.
It’s claimed that in case Southampton end up relegated to the Championship this season, then the 24-year-old ‘does not want to stay’ at the club.
Takvim just doesn’t bring many details on how much Galatasaray will need to pay to take Diallo from the Saints, although they’ll be well covered by Torreira’s sale.
Southampton signed the Frenchman on a €12m from Stade Brestois in 2020, and he’s currently valued by Transfermarkt at only €8m.
Since his contract with the club expires in 2024, stopping his departure now could lead the player to the rebellious act of walking for free next year, so a negotiation may be the best way out.
