Galatasaray bid for Chelsea midfielder Pasalic

Turkish giants Galatasaray have reportedly bid €2.5 million for Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic.

The 22-year-old spent last season in Italy on loan at AC Milan, where he made 27 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions.

Potential suitors Galatasaray finished fourth in the Super Lig last season, ending the campaign behind Fenerbahce, Istanbul Basaksehir and champions Besiktas.

They have taken an interest in Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic, and look to offer the Croatian a permanent escape route as they hope to land the player and bring him to Turkey, according to Milliyet.

Next season, the Turkish side will be eyeing an elusive 21st league title, and want Pasalic to be part of the side aiming to achieve this.

The Croatian midfielder is unlikely to be in Antonio Conte’s plans for next season and this could see him leave the club.

However, a fee as low as €2.5m is unlikely to be enough to lure him away from Stamford Bridge.
