Batrakov's agent: We will meet with Galatasaray management

Batrakov played a key role in Galatasaray's 4-3 win over Amedspor in Week 11 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, scoring the goals that secured the victory. Since joining the club, the Russian player has quickly become a favorite of the fans thanks to his performances and goals, and a detail in his contract has now come to light.

It has been reported that Batrakov's contract with Galatasaray includes a release clause of 55 million euros, and that a club paying this fee could begin transfer talks. The player's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, responded to questions about the contract and said he would meet with club management.

Kuzmichev considered the possibility of raising the release clause and signing a new contract during the mid-season transfer window. The agent said he will visit Batrakov within the next two weeks and hold a meeting with management during that visit. He noted that no concrete meeting has taken place yet, but that a meeting is certain and the issue may come up there.

Scoring twice in the Stuttgart match, with goals in the 12th and 15th minutes, Batrakov made his mark in Galatasaray history. He became the first player in the club's history to score twice in the first 15 minutes of a Champions League match. He was also recorded as the youngest player to score two goals in a Champions League match for the yellow-red club.

Batrakov began his football career in the youth system of Lokomotiv Moscow and was promoted to Lokomotiv Moscow II in the summer of 2022. He made his first-team debut in January 2024 and, during this period, delivered a performance of 34 goals and 23 assists in 84 matches.
