Galatasary have confirmed negotiations to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi on loan and Juan Mata on a free transfer.

This was followed up by a series of posts showing Icardi on the plane to Istanbul, before being hounded by fans after touching down.
And Galatasaray then announced they are closing in on securing Mata’s services following his release at Old Trafford.
The 34-year-old had been linked with a return to his native Spain to join Real Betis.
A statement from Galatasaray read: “Official negotiations have started with the football player regarding the transfer of professional football player Juan Mata to our club.”
And the club also confirmed a loan deal to sign Norwich’s Milot Rashica and the permanent transfers of Mathias Ross from Aalborg BK and Yusuf Demir from Rapid Vienna.
According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Galatasaray are also in talks to sign former Everton magician James Rodriguez on loan from Qatari side Al-Rayyan.
