Galatasaray manages transfer moves for Torreira and Lemina
Galatasaray is managing significant squad changes as the transfer window nears its end. Midfielder Lucas Torreira is a central figure in these discussions; Venezia reportedly submitted a €6 million official offer for the Uruguayan, which Galatasaray rejected. The club has set a €20 million valuation for Torreira should he insist on leaving. Reports suggest Torreira's desire to move to Italy is influenced by personal security concerns following a physical altercation in Turkey earlier this year, as well as a reported request for a salary increase that the club has declined.
Additionally, Galatasaray is monitoring the future of Mario Lemina, who has attracted interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. The club is looking to reshape its midfield rotation, potentially targeting players like Pape Matar Sarr or Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg if departures occur.
In other news, Torino is expressing hesitation regarding the signing of Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri. Despite a previously reached agreement involving a €1 million loan and a €14 million purchase option, Torino is reconsidering the deal due to Perri's recent quadriceps injury and fitness concerns. This uncertainty has reopened a potential window for Olympique de Marseille to pursue the Brazilian goalkeeper.
