Tottenham Hotspur were unable to offload one midfielder last summer, but Galatasaray are still keen on signing him.
Yves Bissouma has had a difficult few months at Tottenham Hotspur. The 29-year-old was a first-team starter in May when Spurs won the Europa League, but he has failed to find the favour of Thomas Frank.
It looked like Bissouma would move to Turkey in the summer, but a move failed to materialise. More recently, Bissouma has been linked with Juventus, whose general manager used to have a role at Tottenham.
Whether the Malian will play again for Spurs remains to be seen, but he is currently unavailable after having surgery for an injury he picked up during the last international break.
Yves Bissouma could swap Tottenham for Galatasaray next summer
Galatasaray were one of the clubs interested in signing Bissouma in August, but according to The Sun, a transfer did not take place due to a knee issue suffered by the midfielder.
However, the Turkish giants have remained in contact with Bissouma’s camp and are keen to sign him when his Spurs contract expires next summer.
Sources close to Bissouma say there are also several unnamed Premier League clubs who have reached out to his camp.
The player himself wants to play for Tottenham again, but he is not expected back until early next year due to his ongoing ankle injury.
Bissouma is unlikely to wear a Spurs shirt again
Unless Tottenham suffer a major injury crisis in their midfield, it is hard to see Bissouma appearing again before his expected departure next summer.
The former Brighton man was seemingly frozen out by Frank before his injury and he is not stuck for options in the pivot midfield area.
Bissouma will understandably want to get some minutes under his belt so he can build up his fitness, but he is no longer needed at Spurs.
