Man United handed transfer boost: £17m winger admits he is considering leaving Turkish league giants, Tottenham also linked
Galatasaray star Bruma has revealed that he is considering a summer exit.
“I am still thinking about leaving, I do not think about it everyday and would like things to be different but it is on my mind,” Bruma was quoted as saying by Fanatik.
Bruma’s future remains in doubt, the Portuguese winger was in brilliant form up until the appointment of Igor Tudor who recently replaced Jan Old Riekerink.
The 23-year-old has struggled for form since the Croatian manager took charge.
Bruma has been linked with a move to Premier League giants Manchester United.
Former Galatasaray sporting director recently told Turkish-Football that Bruma has considered a move to Manchester United.
“Bruma aims to play for Manchester United but if he wants this he must change certain things,” Nazifoglu said.

Bruma’s representative in Turkey, Marco Kirdemir recently revealed that he has received offers from the Premier League.
“I have received offers for Bruma, Premier League sides are interested in him and he is more than capable of playing in that league,” Kirdemir said.
United boss Jose Mourinho is reported to be an admirer of the young winger.
The Red Devils beat Galatasaray 5-2 in a pre-season friendly last summer during which Bruma scored and put on an impressive display.
Following the game Mourinho held talks with Bruma.
“He congratulated me for the performance and said he was impressed with me,” Bruma was quoted as saying by Turkish-football.
“He promised to closely monitor my work and said I could play for the national team soon.”
United were also linked with an £8 million move for the Galatasaray ace last November according to the Sun.
Tottenham have also been linked with Bruma after his agent told O Jogo that Spurs were keen but faced competition from other English clubs.
“Besides Tottenham, there are other English clubs who are very attentive to Bruma,” said Balde.
Bruma will have just 12 months remaining on his contract at the end of the season.
Galatasaray have been key on a new deal which would include a release fee that matches their £17 million valuation.
Bruma has eight goals and eight assists in all competitions for the Istanbul giants this season.
The former Sporting Lisbon man is currently the second highest rated player in the league according to Whoscored.
