The Lions are keen on adding defensive cover over the summer and it would not be the first time they have signed an Arsenal full-back.
The Istanbul giants did sign Emmanuel Eboue from the North London based outfit a few seasons ago.
Debuchy spent the second half of last season on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Bordeaux but only made nine appearances due to injury.
The French side are also reported to be be in the race to sign the experienced full-back according to Sky Sports.
The 31-year-old still has another three-years remaining on his Arsenal contract but has made just 12 appearances for the club since joining in July 2014.
