Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock is keen on signing Liverpool midfielder Marco Grujic on a season-long loan but face competition from Galatasaray.
The Serbia international spent last season at the Championship outfit and the Bluebirds want him back however, his agent is causing a problem.
Cardiff may have to wait a little while longer to secure the transfer but there is growing interest from Turkey.
“It’s a waiting game, but we won’t wait forever,” he was quoted as saying by the BBC.
“I think his agent – as they do – probably thinks he is going to try and make more money somewhere else.
“Liverpool want him to come and I think it will be good for him. I think Marco does as well.
“We will see what happens by Friday this week. I never lose sleep over targets if I am honest.
“I always think it’s their loss if they don’t come.”

The Lions have not made a formal move for the midfielder but he is among several names on the shortlist.
