Rival’s chase for player ‘disrupted’ by Leeds – Farke’s side ‘can reach’ €15m fee requested for signing

On Monday, Fanatik stated Leeds United and Lazio are keen on Kerem Aktürkoğlu and the two clubs have been in regular contact with his agent for the last two weeks. It was also reported Galatasaray don’t intend to part ways with the forward next month.

Akşam brings the latest on this case and it gives encouragement to both the Whites and the Serie A side in the chase for the 25-year-old.

The Biancocelesti are the ‘first candidate’ and have been following the player for a long time. It’s said their plans are ‘disrupted’ by Leeds as they also are in the race to secure his services.

The report states the Turkish champions are in favour of the winger’s sale and have set an asking price of around €15m. They won’t evaluate offers below this figure, a stance which is probably for the winter market.

According to Akşam, both Daniel Farke’s side and Lazio ‘can reach’ the fee requested by Galatasaray to sign the Turkey international.

Aktürkoğlu has managed seven goals and eight assists from 27 games this season.
