Watford are reportedly keen on signing the Galatasaray goalkeeper.
According to Turkish media outlet Sozcu, Galatasaray have slapped a €20 million (£17.7 million) price tag on the head of Watford target Fernando Muslera.
Turkish publication Fotomac reported last week that the 32-year-old stopper is a key target for the Hornets this summer, as Javi Gracia looks to provide more competition for Heurelho Gomes.
Muslera is an incredibly experienced goalkeeper, having made 443 combined career appearances for Montevideo Wanderers, Nacional, Lazio and Galatasaray.

He has also earned an impressive 101 international caps for Uruguay, and that surely serves as evidence of his ability.
The Uruguayan is a truly top class goalkeeper, and would be a welcome addition to the Watford squad.
Whether they are prepared to part with £17.7 million for someone on the wrong side of 32, though, remains to be seen, although in today’s day and age, he probably still has a good four or five years ahead of him at the very highest level.
Muslera kept 13 clean sheets in 38 appearances for Gala last season, and his fine performances for Uruguay at this summer’s World Cup have surely brought him to the attention of the Hornets.
