Galatasaray signed Marcao for just €4 million from Portuguese side Chaves a little over a year ago and are open to selling him at a profit.

Marcao has been ever-present in Fatih Terim’s starting eleven ever since joining the club. The 23-year-old has featured in 18 of Galatasaray’s 21 Turkish Super Lig games this season.

The centre-back has two-years remaining on his contract with the Istanbul based club.

Galatasaray are back in action tomorrow when they face an out-of-form Yeni Malatyaspor. The Lions currently sit in fifth spot with 39 points after racking up five wins in a row.
