Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk considering move for Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey un𝐆derstands that Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk is considering moving for Lemina this month.

Wolves and Lemina are ready to part ways, with Pereira confirming after their loss to Newc🦋astle United on Wednesday that he was ready to bid farewell to the midfielder.

“I can’t bring a pla🐠yer who tells me he is not in the mental co🍎ndition to help the team,” he said.

“He wants to leave. I don’t knoꦅw what happened before me, but with this energy🔜 and this mentality, I don’t need him.

“I prefer to play with another player. I don’t have anything against Lemin𝕴a or any issues with him.”

The Saudi Pro League have expre𒆙ssed an interest in the former Juventus midfielder with Al-Shabab leading the chase.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray are happy with their squad as things stand, and they’re pleased with how Lucas Torreira an⭕d Gabriel Sara are playing.

Ne🃏vertheless, we understand that Buruk is considering a move for Lemina in order toﷺ create competition among his midfielders.

In addition, TBR Football understands that a move back to Istanbul coul🌞d be Lemina’s preferred destination.

Lemina, who cost Wolves around £10million, previously sꦬpent a 12-month loan with Galatasaray in 2019.

He remains a well-love♏d figure among the club’s fans.

The January transfer window has already seen Wolves mak🥃e one signing, with defender Emmanuel Agbadou joining from French side Reims.

Wolves are also said to🃏 be in pursui🐻t of Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, who can also play in midfield.

🍨He is said to be frustrated by the lack of minutes he’s been getting at Stamford Bridge.

Another player Wolves have been🌺 linked with is Lens defender Kevin Da𝔍nso,🉐 who has English football experience thanks to a loan spell at South꧙ampton.
