Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare is a ‘surprise’ target for Galatasaray at the end of the Turkish transfer window.
That’s according to A Spor, relayed by Fanatik, who say the Leicester man is ‘experiencing hot hours’ as the transfer deadline approaches.
They explain that Galatasary have spent this summer building an ambitious team, but they want to make one last effort at the end of the window to top it off.
They’ve seen a potential ‘transfer of opportunity’ and ‘stepped in’ to take advantage of it after being offered the Leicester City man by agents.
According to their information, the player was offered by agent for a ‘low’ figure, with it made clear he is thinking of leaving the King Power Stadium and would be interested in the move to Galatasaray if it was offered.
Indeed, it was the player and his agents who contacted the Turkish club after receiving ‘a positive report’ about the club.
He reportedly wants to ‘embark on a new adventure’ following Leicester’s poor start to the season and would join Galatasaray on an initial loan deal as that could be wrapped up quickly before the deadline.
The deal would also include a purchase option that would be ‘at high levels’ although the exact figure isn’t made clear. His current market value is said to be €25m, though.
