Стambul's "Galatasaray" is showing interest in the midfielder of Madrid's "Atletico" and the Argentine national team, Rodrigo De Paul, as reported by Marca.

According to the source, the Turkish club wants to loan the player for one year. In the summer of 2024, "Galatasaray" may have a priority option to purchase the Argentine's transfer. The Spaniards may agree to the transfer due to some tensions between the player and his teammates.

He has played a total of 86 matches for the Madrid club in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing 10 assists. The player's contract with the club is valid until the summer of 2026.
