Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are reportedly among the long list of clubs eyeing up exciting Galatasaray youngster Aleksey Batrakov.
The talented 21-year-old first caught the eye at former club Lokomotiv Moscow before joining Galatasaray this summer, and it seems Europe’s elite are all keeping a close eye on him.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea and Manchester City could be in the mix too, though there’s some suggestion that Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain could be viewed as more favourable options for him.
What next for Aleksey Batrakov?
Batrakov looks like a huge prospect, so it’s not too surprising that there’s already some uncertainty over his Galatasaray future, even though he only recently joined them.
The Russia international will want to choose his next club carefully, and TEAMtalk are claiming that he’s leaning towards Barca and PSG over Premier League clubs at the moment.
The ‘stature’ and ‘style of play’ of those two teams is said to be appealing to Batrakov, but it’s also important to note that Galatasaray are not keen to sell, according to the report.
