Aston Villa are linked with the Turkey-based marksman.
Speculation indicates that Aston Villa want to sign Mbaye Diagne this week.
According to Aksam in Turkey, the Premier League side are weighing up an £11 million bid, while other reports suggest that a director for Galatasaray has already been to the UK to negotiate the transfer.
If a move materialises before Thursday’s transfer deadline, Aston Villa would be signing one of Turkish football’s most prolific hitmen.
Last season, the Senegal international managed 32 goals in all competitions for Galatasaray.
And unsurprisingly, fans of the Turkish giants are desperate to keep him in Istanbul.
Here’s how they reacted to the speculation:
Judging by the fans’ reaction to him possibly leaving, Aston Villa are interested in a serious baller.
The good news for Galatasaray supporters is that there’s only two days left in the transfer window, but the downside to that is it could pressure Villa into paying a little more, just to get it over the line as soon as possible.
Villans boss Dean Smith has already spent big on a striker this summer after paying £22 million – a club-record at the time – for Wesley.
