Bursaspor have set their sights on bringing back their former playmaker Pablo Batalla.

According to the Turkish newspaper Fanatik, Timur Noyan who hopes to become Bursaspor’s next president has targeted Batalla as the perfect Summer transfer to mark the start of his presidency.

Noyan is reportedly unwilling to part with €2,5 million to sign Josue from Porto.

The 24-year-old has seven goals and four assists in all competitions this season.

Bursaspor are currently 5th in the league with 47 points in 29 games.
