Talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Galatasaray continue as the Turkish club looks to finalise a deal for Pape Matar Sarr this week.
We are now in the final week of the summer transfer window, and there could still be a lot of movement at Tottenham Hotspur before the window slams shut.
Spurs Web expects a whopping twelve more transfers to be completed this week, including new signings, permanent sales and loan moves.
One of the players on our list is Pape Matar Sarr, whose future at Tottenham remains uncertain, with a move this transfer window very likely to be completed.
Pape Matar Sarr wants Tottenham exit as Galatasaray talks progress
It was reported last week that Galatasaray have entered the race to sign Sarr this summer transfer window. For a long time, it was a three-horse race with Aston Villa, Brentford and Al-Ahli all battling for the signature of the Senegal international.
However, the Turkish giants now look to be leading the race with Sarr having agreed personal terms with Galatasaray. According to Akşam, Pape Matar Sarr is understood to be keen on joining the Istanbul club, with the two parties having already found an agreement.
And while Tottenham are open to selling the Senegal international, they are yet to reach an agreement with Galatasaray.
Galatasaray improve Pape Matar Sarr bid as Spurs hold firm
The Turkish side are said to have sent in a bid for Sarr, but their initial offer is below Tottenham’s valuation of the 23-year-old midfielder.
With the summer window closing soon, Galatasaray are now looking to intensify their efforts and have sent in an improved €20m (£17.3m) bid for Sarr, but that has been rejected by Spurs, who are requesting €25m (£21.6m) for the midfielder.
This, of course, is way below the £50m Spurs have been demanding for Sarr for most of this summer transfer window.
Still, it is understood that despite the gap in valuation, discussions are ongoing between Spurs and the Super Lig winners, who are keen on bringing the price down and hope to complete a deal this week.
