Fanatik: Galatasaray plotting January move for Milan captain – the details | OneFootball

Galatasaray were linked with a move for Davide Calabria during the summer transfer window and they are reportedly expected to go back in for him in January.

Fanatik recalls that after failing to sign French right-back Guela Doue, Galatasaray decided to sign Elias Jelert from FC Copenhagen in the summer on a five-year deal, but in nine games in all competitions he has struggled to hit the ground running.

The report states that Galatasaray technical director Okan Buruk has ‘given up hope on Elias Jelert’ and as a result he will be allowed to leave the Turkish giants during the January transfer window, but that means they will look to sign a replacement.

The Istanbul club are preparing a move to sign Calabria, who has seemingly lost his starting spot at Milan to Emerson Royal and is also on a contract which is set to expire at the end of the current season.

Despite the fact that the 27-year-old is a club captain and has been a regular starter to this point, there have been several reports claiming that his future is ‘up in the air’. As a result, Galatasaray will ‘knock on AC Milan’s door in January’ and try their luck.
