West Brom have entered the race for Galatasaray forward Garry Rodriguez according to reports in Turkey.
The Sabah newspaper report that the Lions received a ‘surprise email’ from the Baggies for the Cape Verde ace.
Per the source, West Brom sporting director Giuliano Terraneo sent the message to the club.
Terraneo is a familiar name to Galatasaray from his time at rival club Fenerbahce.
The Italian requested the Lions give him the green light for talks with the 28-year-old.
Galatasaray are demanding €20 million for their star man this summer.
The Lions are not prepared to reduce their asking price as 20 percent of any future deal will go to his previous club PAOK.
