Galatasaray has expressed interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare on loan according to Football Insider.

The Turkish club is actively exploring options to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season and believes Soumare could be a valuable addition.

Soumare joined Leicester City in 2021 but spent last season on loan at Sevilla. He has struggled for consistent playing time at Leicester and could benefit from a move to Galatasaray.

The Turkish transfer window remains open until September 13th, giving Galatasaray time to negotiate a loan deal with Leicester City.

The Lions have had a busy transfer window bringing in star names like Victor Osimhen but still have time to further strengthen their squad which lacks balance and depth in midfield.

If Soumare joins Galatasaray, he could be available for the club’s next match on September 15th.

The Turkish giants are currently undefeated in the Süper Lig with three wins from their first three games and are also competing in the Europa League.
