Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson in January according to Takvim.

Per the source, Fulham want Nelsson in January and the defender is keen on an exit.

The 24-year-old has fallen out of favor at Galatasaray this season, making just 13 appearances, and has expressed his desire to leave the club.

“My contract ends in 2026,” Nelsson, who was unhappy because he remained a reserve, said in a statement at the national team camp.

“I will not extend the new contract. I live to play in Istanbul. If I don’t play, I will have to leave,” he said.

Nelsson was close to leaving over the summer but Galatasaray ended up keeping him on. However, after the arrival of Davinson Sanchez from Tottenham the Denmark international has started facing competition for a starting position in the team.

The Lions are gearing up for the possibility of Nelsson leaving and are not willing to let him leave as they have a suitable replacement.

Galatasaray are expected to demand a fee of over €15 million for Nelsson, and it remains to be seen whether Fulham are willing to meet that valuation.

Nelsson is under contract until 2026 so Galatasaray do have bargaining power and do not want to let him leave for less than what they value him at.

Given Nelson’s age and potential, he could be a shrewd signing for the Premier League club.

The defender played an important role in the Galatasaray team that lifted the Super Lig title last season and has 10 international caps for Denmark.
