The tension between Atalanta's striker Ademola Lukman and the team's head coach Ivan Juric during the match against Marseille has influenced the club's transfer plans.
Idman.Biz reports that after the incident, the Bergamo representative made a firm decision to sell the Nigerian striker during the winter break of the season.
According to Turkish media, "Galatasaray" is interested in Lukman, and this process does not depend on the possible transfer of Barış Alper Yılmaz. The Istanbul club is expected to start official negotiations in the coming days.
The main goal of the Galatasaray management is to increase the speed and agility characteristics in the attacking line, and Lukman is seen as a player that fits this profile.
Exact figures regarding the transfer amount and terms have not yet been disclosed.
Let us remind you that against the background of the cooling of relations between Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior and head coach Xabi Alonso, the club has set a minimum price of 150 million euros (approximately 277 million AZN) for the Brazilian football player, and the coach-football player conflict has brought transfer probabilities to the agenda.
