Manchester City FC transfer news: Eliaquim Mangala wanted by Turkish giants Galatasaray

Turkish giants Galatasaray have set their sights on out-of-favour Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala.

The 26-year-old, who is currently on loan at Valencia in La Liga, has been deemed surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola and is expected to be shipped out permanently at the end of the season.

This has alerted Galatasaray, who are keen to bring the France international to Turkey.

According to AMK, the club are exploring the possibility of bringing in defensive reinforcements during the summer and have identified Mangala as their No.1 target.

However, Galatasaray are expected to face stiff competition from other European clubs during the summer window.
