Galatasaray are looking to add another Nigerian star to their squad following their interest in Lookman.
Ademola Lookman, who has also been linked with Inter, Atletico Madrid, and Napoli, has now emerged as a target for the Turkish champions.
Voted Africa’s best player, the main obstacle to Lookman’s transfer remains financial conditions. With the European transfer window now closed, his options are limited if he is to secure a move.
The Italian club’s asking price is set at €55 million. Galatasaray, however, are pushing for the move in order to register him for the Champions League squad. The situation is expected to become clear later today.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Fenerbahçe could also make a bid for the player.
A potential transfer of Barış Alper is seen as a key factor in this deal. The winger has reportedly attracted an offer of around €45 million.
If that sale goes through, Galatasaray could be in a strong position to bring the Nigerian star into their squad.
