Galatasaray commentator Uğur Karakullukçu has provided the latest update on Galatasaray’s interest in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.
According to Karakullukçu, Galatasaray are reportedly shifting their transfer focus towards Salah ahead of Lookman.
Both Salah and Lookman have been linked with a move to the Turkish Super Lig champions.
Lookman failed to leave Atalanta last summer and has just been reintegrated in the squad, while Salah had issues with Liverpool and was left out of the side that defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League.
On his YouTube channel, Karakullukçu indicated that Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek is inclined toward a more ambitious approach to acquire the Egyptian international.
“Dursun Özbek said, ‘Instead of paying Lookman 45 million Euros, and considering his salary will be around 10 million Euros plus taxes, let’s go for Mohamed Salah. If we can afford his transfer fee, let’s get Salah.’
“There is an idea to go for Salah instead of Lookman. The goal is to get him from Liverpool for free,” Karakullukçu said as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.
