Only one club could sign Galatasaray’s Alexey Batrakov, says Turkish journalist

Turkish journalist and commentator Ugur Karakullukcu has assessed the growing speculation over European interest in Galatasaray midfielder Alexey Batrakov, identifying a single club as capable of completing a deal for the 21-year-old.

Reports have linked the Russian with several of Europe’s leading clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona.

Batrakov joined Galatasaray and has made 12 appearances in all competitions. He has scored five goals and provided three assists during that run.

The midfielder’s performances have reportedly attracted attention from a number of potential suitors, although the Turkish journalist has suggested that only one club would be able to sign him.

Batrakov’s release clause could rise to 100m euros.
