Galatasaray charge in for Chelsea midfielder

Galatasaray charge in for Chelsea midfielder

Galatasaray are interested in signing Mario Pasalic.
 
The Chelsea loanee has spent the last season in Milan, where he played reasonably in the 2017 calendar year.
 
The young Croatian is wanted by the Turkish side, who are desperate to win the title after Besiktas’ recent domination.
 
Unlikely to find space at Stamford Bridge - though it appears that Coach Conte is fascinated - Pasalic has options, with the latest reports indicating that he was in talks with Lazio.
 
He scored five times last season and made one assist, but also has the reputation of giving the ball away too cheaply in midfield.
 
Galatasaray are ready to offer 2.7 million to Chelsea in order to nab the Croatian, more than the 2m Real Betis were ready to offer.
 
Pasalic’s deal expires next year, and it doesn’t look like the Pensioners will offer him a new deal. Milan, for their part, are signing a number of players, and it doesn’t look like there is room for Pasalic in the new system.
