Matviy Ponomarenko on Galatasaray's Striker Transfer Agenda
Following a failure to reach an agreement for the transfer of Demirovic, Galatasaray has brought Matviy Ponomarenko, who plays for Dynamo Kyiv, back onto its agenda.
As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen its forward line, the yellow-red club turned to alternative names after the transfer of Ermedin Demirovic, which ended in a disagreement with Stuttgart.
Impasse in Demirovic Talks
A common ground could not be reached in the negotiations conducted until the last moment between the management of Galatasaray and Stuttgart for the transfer of Ermedin Demirovic.
Following this development, it was stated that the yellow-reds shelved this transfer.
Ponomarenko Back on the Agenda
With the Demirovic transfer reaching an impasse, players meeting the U23 criteria came to the forefront in Galatasaray's planning.
According to reports in the Ukrainian press, the yellow-reds have taken action once again for Dynamo Kyiv's Matviy Ponomarenko, whom they had previously been closely interested in.
High Transfer Fee Claim
In news originating from Ukraine, it was claimed that Galatasaray is prepared to set aside a transfer fee of 30 million Euros for the young footballer's transfer.
This transfer move is of importance regarding the reinforcements the club will make to its forward line.
Conrad Harder in the Italian Press
On the other hand, young striker Conrad Harder, who plays for Leipzig, was brought to the agenda by the Italian press.
It was stated that Lazio and Leeds United clubs, along with Galatasaray, are closely interested in this player.
