Contract extension negotiations with Mario Lemina have stalled at Galatasaray, who won the Süper Lig and aim to keep their squad intact. The slowdown in talks is attributed to the player's side not receiving the fee they requested from the yellow-red community.
Galatasaray, who left behind one of the brightest periods in their history by winning the league championship for the fourth consecutive time, has seen a new development regarding the future of star player Mario Lemina.
NEGOTIATIONS REACH AN IMPASSE
Things are not going as expected in the contract extension negotiations between the yellow-red team and Mario Lemina. The experienced midfielder had previously stated in a statement after the match against Antalyaspor that he was open to staying at Galatasaray. However, it has been learned that the contract negotiations expected to be formalized between the management and the player's side have slowed down significantly recently. It is claimed that the player's side could not receive the fee they requested from Galatasaray.
EUROPEAN AND GULF TEAMS LURKING
According to a report from the Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, there are many suitors closely monitoring Lemina’s contract situation. It was stated that clubs from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, known for their high-budget transfers, as well as teams primarily from Spain and England, have lined up to sign the experienced player. The report details that Lemina is not entirely closed to the idea of embarking on a new and different adventure in his career.
