Elmas made the move to Fenerbahce last summer but had to wait until 2018 before being be registered due to a complication with FIFA.

However, the youngster has found first-team chances hard to come by since his move. Elmas has played just 37 minutes of Turkish Super Lig football this season.

Elmas recently confirmed that he had received a bid from Man City during an interview with Turkish outlet Fanatik.

“Yes to both questions but I won’t go into any more details, that stays with me,” Elmas told Fanatik.
