Galatasaray considers to terminate contract with Christian Luyindama 

Galatasaray are considering to terminate contract with its player Christian Luyindama who is currently is loaned to Antalyaspor as there is no plans to use him by Okan Buruk in upcoming season.

It needs to be mentioned that Luyindama did have some good periods at Galatasaray during his stay and did play an important role in some of the wins, but when looking in general and especially in last years before loaned he did provide performance which has been useful to the team so for him to stay at the club for another season according to contract would mean that team would look for another club for him to be loaned. Hence, termination to some extend would been also good development for him as he would be start looking for side where he could stay for longer period.

Hence, it would be expected for termination deal between sides to be beneficial for both sides and aggreement to be made soon.

Lucas Torreira will have negotiations with Lazio.

Galatasaray player Lucas Torreira agent has stated that he would have transfer negotiations with Lazio as there is request even through Galatasaray doesnt consider to sell him.

With taking account of closeness of Lucas Torreira with Italian clubs and also opportunity to join top 5 club would mean that Torreira would be keeping a door open for his return there as Lazio are showing interest towards him. With hearing what Lazio are offering as club both financially and morally could also led for them to approach Galatasaray and possibly ask for allow Torreira to join Serie A club despite knowing that they wouldnt consider to sell him.

Hence, it could be meantioned that there might be some activity regarding of Torreira future at Galatasaray which we would follow.
