Okan Buruk, the head coach of the Turkish club Galatasaray, has commented on reports that the club is interested in Milan Inter midfielder Davide Frattezi.
Idman.Biz reports that the Turkish specialist said in a statement to Fanatik that no negotiations had been held regarding Frattezi and that a player of this profile is not currently the club's main transfer target.
"The more secretly you keep transfers, the better, but unfortunately it is difficult in our country. News comes out about the players we are interested in, as well as the players we are not interested in. Frattezi is an important, valuable football player. No negotiations have been held regarding him. I like him very much, but we haven't taken any steps yet. Currently, a player of this profile is not our main target. There is a lot of talk in the press about football players, 20-30 percent of them are true, and the rest are players we don't know or talk to at all. From a transfer point of view, our main goal is to attract good, the best players. For this, it is necessary to convince both the club and the football player," Buruk said.

Turkish club Galatasaray is seriously interested in Italian Inter midfielder Davide Frattezi.
Idman.Biz, citing insider Gianluca Di Marzio, reports that the Istanbul club is ready to invest up to 35 million euros (70 million AZN) for this transfer.
The talk is about renting a football player with a mandatory subsequent purchase condition.
It is noted that such a scheme completely satisfies Inter, because the club prefers a guaranteed sale of the player to a transfer with conditions depending on certain indicators.
Davide Frattezi has been playing for Inter since July 2023. At that time, he was transferred from Sassuolo for 31.4 million euros (62 million AZN). In the current season, the midfielder has appeared in 15 matches in all tournaments and has been remembered with two productive passes.
