Stoke City reject offer for player as transfer fee is set

According to Turkish newspaper Star, Stoke City have rejected Galatasaray’s loan offer for Badou Ndiaye.

The Senegalese midfielder joined Galatasaray on a loan deal from Stoke City at the start of the season, and Star report the Super Lig club want to continue with the player beyond this campaign.

With Stoke City set for another season in the Championship, Ndiaye’s agent recently spoke to the Turkish media and said his client will not return to Potters this summer.

The player himself has also reportedly made a negative stance with regards to playing the English second tier.

However, Star say Galatasaray’s loan offer has been rejected by Stoke City as the Championship side have stated they are looking to sell Ndiaye permanently this summer.

It’s now claimed Stoke City are looking for at least €8m to sell Ndiaye, but Galatasaray are still looking to push hard to get the player for another season.

Ndiaye is under contract at Stoke City until June 2022.
