CM: Milan in an ongoing negotiation with Galatasaray over €4.5m full-back – the latest

AC Milan defender Fodé Ballo-Touré has an admirer from abroad as Galatasaray are pushing to sign him before the window shuts, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com report that Galatasaray like the Senegalese full-back a lot and wants to continue their summer shopping in Italy after the arrivals of Dries Mertens and Lucas Torreira from Napoli and Fiorentina respectively.

There is an opening on the part of the player who is happy at Milan but is attracted by the possibility of playing more consistently at an ambitious club like the Istanbul-based side, one that are looking to bounce back to competing for the league title.

The negotiation between Milan and Galatasaray began a few days ago with Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara stating that a valuation of €4.5m has been set, given that is the fee Milan paid out just twelve months ago to buy him from Monaco.

A new meeting is expected at the beginning of next week to understand if there is the basis for the operation to be closed but the fact remains: Galatasaray are pushing for Ballo-Tourè.
