Galatasaray Plans to Renew Batrakov's Contract

Galatasaray's management plans to update the contract of Aleksey Batrakov, who has attracted interest from European giants, in the near future in order to keep him in the squad. The report says the risk of an early departure is on the agenda because of the release clause in the contract of the player, who joined the squad at the start of the season for a transfer fee of 25 million Euros. It is reported that the player's manager, Vladimir Kuzmichev, has said he will not stand in the way of a move to clubs in Europe. It is stated that Kuzmichev is planned to meet with the club management in the coming days to discuss the release clause, but no concrete meeting has yet taken place. There are claims that the player's salary will rise to 5 million Euros and the release clause to 100 million Euros; however, the manager stressed that no such figure has been discussed with the club. The contract figures and details in the report require further verification.
