From the source
Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are reportedly among the long list of clubs eyeing up exciting Galatasaray youngster Aleksey Batrakov. The talented 21-year-old first caught the eye at former club Lokomotiv Moscow before joining Galatasaray this summer, and it seems Europe’s elite are all keeping a close eye on him.
With a £50m release clause in his contract, the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man Utd are mentioned as suitors for Batrakov, though they’re not alone.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea and Manchester City could be in the mix too, though there’s some suggestion that Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain could be viewed as more favourable options for him.
