Liverpool hooks Galatasaray star Aleksey Batrakov
While European giants are lining up for Galatasaray's young star Aleksey Batrakov, the first official move came from Liverpool, with the English club requesting a private box for the match.
Aleksey Batrakov, whom Galatasaray added to their squad at the beginning of the season, has caught the radar of Europe's leading clubs with his performance. While a total of 10 clubs are monitoring the 21-year-old player, the first concrete step came from Liverpool.
Aleksey Batrakov, transferred by Galatasaray from Lokomotiv Moskova for a fee of 25 million euros, quickly became the darling of the transfer market with his successful performances. Ranking high in scout reports with his vision, passing quality, and offensive contribution, the 21-year-old player is pursued by 10 European giants.
Among the clubs tracking Batrakov are Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Brighton, PSG, and Monaco. Making the first official move among these teams, Liverpool requested a private box from the yellow-red management to watch the match between Galatasaray and Stuttgart at the stadium.
While Aleksey Batrakov's contract includes a 55 million euro release clause, Galatasaray will give Lokomotiv Moskova a 15 percent share of any potential future sale profit of the player.
