Arsenal and Liverpool step up pursuit of Galatasaray star Aleksey Batrakov as £50m release clause emerges
The 21-year-old has two goals and two assists in six starts, and a £50 million release clause could fuel a Premier League bidding war.
- On Wednesday, representatives from Arsenal and Liverpool traveled to northern France to assess Galatasaray attacking midfielder Aleksey Batrakov, who scored in a 4-2 victory over Lille.
- Batrakov's summer move to Turkey from Lokomotiv Moscow for £25 million changed his transfer status, as government sanctions previously restricted direct dealings with Russian clubs.
- The midfielder has recorded two goals and two assists in his first six starts for the Istanbul club, while his contract reportedly includes a release clause of approximately £50 million.
- Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City have also monitored his development, creating a potential five-way Premier League bidding war for his signature.
- Although the Super Lig giants have no desire to sell, the specific contractual mechanism could take the matter out of their hands as Batrakov continues building momentum in Istanbul.
