Galatasaray, who has been working hard for the midfield transfer, has reached an agreement with Scott McTominay, who plays for Manchester United, for an annual fee of 5 million euros. As a result, the yellow-reds, who sat at the negotiating table with the star footballer's club, increased their offer from 15 million euros to 20 million euros. If the transfer ends at this amount, McTominay will be the player with the highest transfer fee ever paid in Turkish football history. This record belongs to En-Nesyri, who was transferred to Fenerbahçe for 19.5 million euros this summer.
The main agenda item in Galatasaray, which continues its transfer activities for the new season, is midfield reinforcement. Cimbom has reached an agreement with Scott McTominay, one of the strongest candidates who has been working on this area for a long time. However, Galatasaray is ready to pay a record transfer fee to the player's club, Manchester United.
€5 MILLION FOR MCTOMINAY
Scott McTominay, who was offered €5 million annually by Galatasaray, found this amount sufficient and accepted the offer of the yellow-reds. Cimbom, who shook hands with the 27-year-old midfielder, started negotiations with the English giant Manchester United, where the Scottish footballer plays, to finalize the transfer.
€20 MILLION FOR TRANSFER FEE
While Manchester United sat at the bargaining table with €30 million, they later reduced this amount to €25 million. Galatasaray, on the other hand, is preparing to increase its €15 million offer to €20 million.
EN-NESYRI'S RECORD WILL BE BROKEN
If Galatasaray finalizes the Scott McTominay transfer, which they have been working on for a long time, with a transfer fee of €20 million or more, they will make the most expensive transfer in Turkish football history. This record currently belongs to Fenerbahçe's Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri, whom they acquired from the Spanish team Sevilla for €19.5 million in this transfer period.
