Arsenal and Liverpool step up pursuit of Galatasaray star Aleksey Batrakov as £50m release clause emerges
Arsenal and Liverpool sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old score in a 4-2 win, as his reported £50 million clause attracts Premier League rivals.
- On Wednesday, scouts from Arsenal and Liverpool watched Aleksey Batrakov in northern France, where the 21-year-old Russian attacker scored in Galatasaray's 4-2 victory over Lille.
- Batrakov's move to Turkey bypassed previous restrictions on direct negotiations with Russian clubs, enabling his £25 million transfer from Lokomotiv Moscow to Galatasaray.
- The midfielder recorded 17 goals and 12 assists in 36 appearances for Lokomotiv last season and holds a release clause worth approximately £50 million applicable to English clubs.
- Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City have also monitored Batrakov's development, creating potential for a fierce five-way Premier League bidding war if his form continues.
- Arsenal and Liverpool will continue monitoring his progress before deciding whether to formalize interest, though convincing Galatasaray to sell remains a significant challenge.
