Wolves are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City attacker Musa.
Sabah journalist Mehmet Ozcan has told Sporx that Galatasaray are leading the race to sign Leicester City speed machine Ahmed Musa this summer, despite interest from newly-promoted Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Turkish outlet Sabah claimed last week that Wolves had made an offer for the 25-year-old, but Ozcan delivered an update on Sporx’s Twitter account by stating that the Galatasaray were in pole position to sign the Nigeria international.
It is believed that either interested party must spend £3.1million to land the attacker on a season-long loan, though it remains to be seen how much Leicester would see him for permanently.
Ozcan said, as quoted by Sport Witness: “Galatasaray want to sign a player who can be a back-up for Bafe Gomis as well as play in the other positions. Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa certainly fits the bill.”
“He’s likely to cost €3.5m [£3.1m] for a season-long loan deal. I can confirm that Galatasaray are currently leading the race to sign him.”
Musa was ostracised at Leicester earlier this season, and rejoined CSKA Moscow in January until the end of the season. He has rediscovered his shooting boots, with six goals in 10 Russian Premier League appearances.
The 65-time international remains on the fringes at the King Power, with preference given to wingers Riyad Mahrez, Marc Albrighton, Demarai Gray and Kelechi Iheanacho.
It looks likely, then, that Musa will leave Leicester again this summer. But it remains to be seen who will land his signature, and whether a deal will be concluded permanently or just a loan.
