Transfer news: Manchester City want Jason Denayer to seal Premier League loan move but defender angling for Galatasaray return

Manchester City defender Jason Denayer is trying to force a move to Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray, despite the club's desire for him to stay in the Premier League.

The Belgium international is not part of City boss Pep Guardiola's immediate plans and another loan spell looks the most likely course of action.

Denayer, 22, enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Galatasaray two years ago, establishing himself as a real crowd favourite.

And, according to reports in Turkey, he wants to secure a move back to the club this summer, despite City insisting upon the defender remaining in the Premier League.
