Man City £28m striker Wilfried Bony set to begin talks with Euro Giants
Galatasaray may be experiencing a nightmare season in the Turkish League, but it hasn’t stopped them planning ahead to next term.
According to the Turkish outlet SporX, the Lions are interested in signing Man City striker Wilfried Bony.
Per the source, Galatasaray will hold talks with City over the transfer of Bony in the upcomming weeks.
Galatasaray are keen to bolster their attacking options over the summer following the departure of Kolbeinn Sightorsson. Meanwhile, Lukas Podolski has already agreed a move to the Japanese club Vissel Kobe.

SporX go onto state that Galatasaray manager Igor Tudor has instructed the club to sign Bony. However, Tudor’s own future at the club has been called into question following a string of disappointing results.
The report goes onto say that Galatasaray are hoping to use their former star striker Didier Drogba – and fellow Ivory Coast national – during negotiations.
Bony’s career has been in decline since his move to Manchester City from Swansea. City signed Bony from the Wales based club for £28 million back in 2015 (Daily Mail).
The 28-year-old has just two goals to his name in 11 apperances for Stoke City this season.
