Italian media outlet TuttoMercatoWeb has uncovered a bombshell that Turkish soccer giants Galatasaray are salivating over Manchester United's iron-clad Lindelof, with plans to include him in their squad. Since joining United in 2017, Lindelof has been firmly at the heart of the backline. But this season, his appearances have plummeted as the fixtures have progressed, and he has only played seven games for United so far, leaving his starting position in jeopardy.
More worryingly, Lindelof's contract is coming to an end this season and Manchester United do not seem to have any intention of renewing the Swedish star's contract. This turn of events makes Galatasaray see a great opportunity to sign Lindelof. The team is said to be actively looking for a strong center back, and Lindelof is undoubtedly their top target.
Although it is still unclear whether Lindelof is willing to move to Turkey, his name has appeared on Galatasaray's reinforcement list. For Lindelof, joining Galatasaray may be the start of a brand new career, giving him the chance to prove his worth once again in the Turkish Super League. For Galatasaray, the signing of Lindelof will undoubtedly significantly improve the strength of the team's backline, so as to be well prepared for the next game.
