Batrakov's agent Kuzmichev: Galatasaray will do everything they can

Galatasaray beat Stuttgart 2-0 at home in Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League, with goals from Aleksey Batrakov.

Batrakov's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, spoke about the future of the 21-year-old player. Kuzmichev said he has not ruled out the possibility of a move to another European club in the winter transfer window. Saying that big clubs make long-term plans, Kuzmichev stated that a period of about 10 matches is not enough for a comprehensive analysis. He added that if things continue this way, big clubs will look more carefully at the option of signing Batrakov.

Kuzmichev stressed that what matters most is playing the whole season at a high level. He said that taking both of his seasons in the Russian Premier League into account would make this even more important. Asked whether a new transfer in the winter window could be ignored, he answered, "We cannot rule anything out." He said that if this trend continues, Galatasaray will do everything they can to keep the player at the club.

Aleksey Batrakov has played 12 matches for Galatasaray, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists in those games.
