Galatasaray Intensifies Contact for Christ Oulai

Galatasaray has stepped up its contacts for Ivorian young midfielder Christ Oulai. In recent talks with Fiorentina, different formulas were evaluated. The most prominent option was a loan model with a purchase option. Galatasaray's management aims to resolve the transfer on a footing that suits the club's financial situation. It was learned that the player is warm to the idea of wearing the yellow-and-red shirt and is pleased with the club's interest. This attitude is seen as one of the factors strengthening Galatasaray's position in the negotiations. The possibility of the young footballer coming to Istanbul during the mid-season break could also speed up the process. The club's goal is to bring Oulai into the squad in the second half of the season if an agreement on the loan with a purchase option is reached. The importance the coaching staff places on young players open to development gives this move meaning. Talks between the parties are expected to continue in the coming period.
