Aleksey Batrakov, whom Galatasaray added to their squad at the beginning of the season from Lokomotiv Moscow for a transfer fee of 25 million euros, has quickly entered the radar of European clubs. The 21-year-old footballer, who stood out in the yellow-reds' 2-0 victory against Stuttgart, also drew attention with his performance in the UEFA Champions League.
The Russian number 10, who reached 4 goals in 4 matches in the Champions League, was selected for the team of the week and also ranked third in the list of the best players of the week. Following this breakthrough, reports appeared in the English press that Premier League clubs are interested in Batrakov.
TRANSFER MESSAGE FROM HIS AGENT
Batrakov's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, said in a statement to the Russian press that the process of the player's transfer to Europe is now easier. Kuzmichev argued that his move to Galatasaray has technically simplified the transfer possibilities.
Most importantly, technically, this is now an extremely simple transfer. There are no longer any obstacles to his transfer to the Premier League. Yes, it is clear that this is an expensive transfer, but big clubs with the necessary financial power understand that everything has become easier now that Aleksey is playing in Turkey. They come, pay the money, and that's it! There is no need to look for other options to carry out this transfer.
Kuzmichev also added, "Aleksey's transfer to Galatasaray has facilitated all these processes." The agent's words brought the discussions regarding potential transfer interest in the yellow-red club back to the agenda following Batrakov's rising performance.
Having played 12 matches in a Galatasaray jersey, Batrakov has contributed 5 goals and 3 assists during this period. Following the investment made by the yellow-reds in the summer, the player's value in the European market and the number of suitors are expected to increase.
