Galatasaray Target New Contract for Batrakov

Galatasaray's Russian midfielder Aleksey Batrakov has caught the radar of world giants with his performances. Following this interest, the yellow-red management has taken action.

Batrakov's contract contains a release clause of around 50 million pounds. No departure from the club is expected during the winter break. The management aims to sign a new contract by improving Batrakov's salary and to remove the release clause entirely.

In the 9 matches he has started this season, Batrakov has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists. He can play in the number 10 position as well as on the wings. The 21-year-old, who arrived from Lokomotiv Moscow in the summer transfer window, has become one of the club's key players this season.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, scouts from Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea watched Galatasaray's 2-0 Champions League win over Stuttgart from the stands. Batrakov scored 2 goals in that match to secure the victory and earned full marks from the observers.

The interest in the player is not limited to these three clubs. Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain are also closely monitoring Batrakov's situation.
