Galatasaray nears 30 million euro deal for Aleksey Batrakov

Galatasaray is finalizing the transfer of 21-year-old Russian midfielder Aleksey Batrakov from Lokomotiv Moskova. Reports indicate the clubs have reached an agreement on a transfer fee of approximately 30 million euros. The player is expected to sign a four-year contract with a guaranteed annual salary of 3.5 million euros, plus performance-based bonuses. This move follows pressure from fans for squad reinforcements after a recent draw against Çorum FK.

In addition to Batrakov, Galatasaray is pursuing several other offensive targets. The club is reportedly interested in Napoli's Noa Lang, with an offer of around 15 million euros being discussed, though Napoli's valuation remains higher. Other names linked to the club include Alexander Sörloth from Atletico Madrid, who reportedly seeks an annual salary between 10 and 12 million euros, and former Barcelona player Abde Ezzalzouli from Real Betis.
