They watched Galatasaray's Batrakov live! '50 million pounds'

Aleksey Batrakov, one of Galatasaray's new transfers, continues to attract the attention of important clubs in European football. According to TEAMtalk from the British press, Arsenal and Liverpool have increased their interest in the 21-year-old attacker.

The news stated that representatives of the two clubs watched Batrakov in the Lille match played in France on Wednesday. The fact that the young football player scored a goal in the match that his team won 4-2 also attracted the attention of the English teams.

It was reported that, in addition to Arsenal and Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City were also following the Russian football player. It was stated that the scout teams of English clubs have been evaluating Batrakov's performance for a long time and think that the player has the potential to make a difference in top-level football.

It was noted that his transfer to Galatasaray did not reduce the interest in Batrakov, on the contrary, the number of followers of the young player in Europe increased.

It was claimed that Paris Saint-Germain was also involved in the transfer process of Aleksey Batrakov to Galatasaray. However, it was stated that the French giant turned to different priorities due to the work it carried out for names such as Ferran Torres and Maghnes Akliouche.

Following this development, it was reported that Galatasaray took action and turned its route to the Russian football player after its interest in Bruno Fernandes. It was stated that the yellow-reds reached an agreement with Lokomotiv Moscow for a transfer fee of 25 million euros and brought Batrakov to Istanbul.

The news emphasized that British clubs may face significant obstacles in transferring Batrakov directly from Lokomotiv Moscow. It was stated that it was difficult for English teams to make direct transfers with the Moscow representative due to the sanctions against Russian clubs.

It was noted that this situation changed with Batrakov's transfer to Galatasaray and the young player became a more attainable target for Premier League teams.

TEAMtalk's report also claimed that there was a noteworthy clause in Batrakov's contract with Galatasaray. Allegedly, the Russian football player's contract includes a release clause that could allow him to be transferred to clubs competing in the English, Italian, Spanish or German leagues.

It is stated that the item in question is worth approximately 50 million pounds. This figure is well above the 25 million euro transfer fee that Galatasaray paid to add the young football player to its squad.

However, it was stated that the yellow-reds have no intention of getting rid of Batrakov in the short term. It was emphasized that Galatasaray management and technical staff were satisfied with the young player's performance so far.

Batrakov showed an impressive performance in his first matches with Galatasaray. The 21-year-old football player attracted attention with his contribution of 2 goals and 2 assists in his first 6 matches.

The fact that Arsenal and Liverpool are watching the player on site has been interpreted as the transfer race may get even more intense in the coming period. The future of Batrakov, who is said to be followed by Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, is a candidate to be one of the important agenda items of the European transfer market for Galatasaray.

While it is not yet clear whether any of the English clubs will make an official offer, all eyes are on the young star's performance and the alleged release clause in his contract.
