Before the January transfer window, Leeds United was being linked to a surprise move for Galatasaray striker Kerem Akturkoglu. However, a mystery club has now put in a proposal to sign the Turkey star for next month.
The 25-year-old Akturkoglu has contributed to 15 goals this season for his team, showing incredible form. In the Champions League, he has even scored twice—once at home and once away against Manchester United.
This week, rumors surfaced that Leeds and Lazio had “regular” talks to sign Akturkoglu throughout the previous two weeks. However, Galatasaray is unwilling to let go of the winger until the summer.
Even if we are unable to recruit Akturkoglu in January, Leeds is anticipated to keep an eye on him; Galatasaray has valued the talent at £13 million. a player so good that Barcelona manager Xavi is impressed.
Here’s a fresh update. Galatasaray has reportedly received an offer from an undisclosed club, according to Turkish publication Sporx. German and Italian teams are reportedly keen on signing the attacker for Galatasaray.
Unknown club table offer to sign Kerem Akturkoglu, a target for Leeds
Leeds have to act swiftly if they want to sign Akturkoglu. As earlier rumors have indicated, talks are in progress, but is he really going to sign with a team that is currently competing in the Championship?
If Leeds hopes to sign him, they will need to promote someone. But if Akturkoglu does move on in January, they might not have a chance to try. Leeds must hope he does stay in the window for the winter.
After that, advance in rank and try to sign him during the summer transfer window. We are currently far behind in our pursuit of the winger, but if we can get him, he would be a fantastic addition.
