West Ham fall behind in race to sign €10 million Badou N’diaye as Turkish giants hold advanced talks

Galatasaray are stepping up their efforts to sign Osmanlispor’s in-demand midfielder Badou N’diaye.

A source close to Galatasaray has revealed to Turkish-Football.com that the Lions sporting director Cenk Ergun has held further talks with Osmanlispor.

Per the source, Galatasaray are now in pole position to land the Senegal international this summer.

West Ham United recently had a bid for N’Diaye rejected by Osmanlispor. Everton have also been linked with a move for the 27-year-old.

Per the source, Osmanlispor have set a £10 million price tag on their star asset.

SkySports meanwhile have claimed that Newcastle United are interested in signing N’Diaye too.

Osmanlispor are in line to make a huge profit if they decide to sell N’Diaye this summer.

The Ankara based club signed the 27-year-old from the Norwegian side Glimt for just €350,000.

Galatasaray are keen to strengthen their midfield this summer following a shock exit from the Europa League last week.

N’Diaye scored seven goals in 42 appearances for Osmanlispor last season.
