Galatasaray are working hard to land experienced midfielder Thomas Partey as they look to make a strong statement in the summer transfer window.
The Turkish Super Lig champions are eager to add leadership and steel to their midfield ahead of the new season.
According to TBR Football, the Istanbul-based club has opened talks with Partey over a potential move. The 32-year-old is leaving Arsenal after failing to agree on fresh terms with the Premier League side.
Partey featured in 52 games across all competitions last season, showing that he still has plenty to offer at the highest level. However, with his time in London seemingly coming to an end, a switch to Turkey now looks likely.
Galatasaray will face stiff competition from domestic rivals Fenerbahce, who are also said to be keen on the Ghanaian international. But the club remains hopeful that its ambition and Champions League football could tilt the decision in their favour.
A move for Partey would be a big signal of intent from Galatasaray as they prepare for another demanding season.
