Galatasaray chief CONFIRMS Turkish champions are chasing two Premier League stars including Man Utd ace Scott McTominay
GALATASARAY’S vice-president has revealed they are interested in signing Manchester United star Scott McTominay and Tottenham man Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Red Devils midfielder McTominay, 27, has more than 250 appearances for Man Utd since breaking through from the academy in 2017.
But he was linked with a switch to West Ham last summer before the deal collapsed.
And now he has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford – having started just 18 Premier League games last season.
Danish midfielder Hojbjerg, 28, has spent four years in North London but become a bit-part player under Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.
Galatasaray‘s rivals Fenerbahce have already been linked with the Denmark international following the appointment of Hojbjerg’s ex-manager Jose Mourinho.
And club vice-president Ibrahim Hatipoglu has confirmed they are looking at both McTominay and Hojbjerg.
Speaking to CNN Turk, he said: “We are interested in a player from the Premier League and Manchester United.
“There is nothing more natural than the high cost of this. There are discussions regarding his transfer fee.
“For us, the total cost, including transfer fees and player receivables [salary], is important at the decision point.

“Once the negotiations with both the club and the player are completed, the cost becomes apparent.”
He then went on to tell Haber Sari Kirmizi: “McTominay’s transfer is being discussed.
“Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a good player, he has many suitors, he wants to see all options.”
Galatasaray won the Turkish league title with 102 points last season, beating 99-point Fenerbahce to claim a second successive triumph.
