New move in preparation for Batrakov's release clause

Galatasaray beat Stuttgart, whom they hosted in Week 4 of the Champions League, thanks to two goals from Aleksey Batrakov. With these goals, the Russian player raised his Champions League goal tally to 4.

The 21-year-old, who joined the squad from Lokomotiv Moscow for 25 million euros in August, has played 12 matches in the yellow and red shirt. In those games he has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists.

Batrakov's contract contains a 55 million euro release clause. According to a report by NTV Spor, Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek is preparing to act to raise this figure.

The club reportedly plans to sign a new contract with the player with a high release fee.
