Leicester transfers: Galatasaray make move to sign Boubakary Soumare – sources
Galatasaray have registered their interest in signing Leicester City’s Boubakary Soumare, sources have told Football Insider.
The Turkish giants are searching for a loan deal to bring the defensive midfielder on board this season.
The Turkish window is open until 13 September, giving Galatasaray time to negotiate any potential deal.
The midfielder has been at the King Power Stadium since 2021 but spent last season on loan at Sevilla.
The Frenchman was a regular for the Spanish outfit during the 2023-24 campaign, having made 34 appearances.
Soumare is under contract at Leicester until 2026, putting them in a strong negotiating position.
Galatasary want to add Boubakary Soumare to their midfield options
Soumare was deemed surplus to requirements last season when he was loaned out of the club.
Game time has been limited since his return to the King Power Stadium, having only featured for 11 minutes off the bench in the first game of the season.
Soumare has made 60 appearances throughout his time with the Foxes but has slipped down the pecking order.
Galatasaray have made an undefeated start to the new campaign, winning all three of their Super Lig games so far.
The Turkish giants are next in action on 15 September, and Soumare could be in the squad by that point if a deal is secured.
