A development is expected in the next few days with Galatasaray reported to be preparing to ramp up negotiations and make an offer.

Galatasaray won the Super Lig title for the first time in 22 years last season and qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2013.

The Yellow-Reds want to strengthen the side for the Champions League campaign and have targeted Tielemans.

Tielemans will have no shortage of offers being a free agent.

The Super Lig champions believe the prospect of Champions League football and the joining a promising side on the rise could entice the Belgium international.
