Aston Villa is understood to be preparing to negotiate a potential transfer agreement with Galatasaray Central midfielder Gabriel Sara.
Resources linked to the agency industry have been notified Attracted by the side Sara is very interested in the Premier League this summer and can move for about €40 million.
A source told us that Galatasaray would rather not be sold, but those familiar with the situation have a feeling that they are ready to let the 26-year-old leave for the right price.
Attracted by the side Knowing Villa’s interest is state-of-the-art at the moment, but Manchester City is like players, as are other top British flying teams like Everton, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
Gabriel Sara becomes Aston Villa’s top transfer target
Villa seems eager to step up in midfield this summer, and Sara is one of the top picks on their roster.
Specific negotiations have not begun, but Villa is expected to step up its efforts to bring Sara to Villa Park soon.
However, in terms of player valuation, there seems to be a big gap between Villa and Galatasaray.
Confirm multiple sources Attracted by the side AVFC currently believes that Sara is worth more, about €20 million, so if it can strike with a Turkish peer, it remains to be seen whether it can see a compromise.
What can Sarah bring Premier League clubs to?
Sara is able to play the role of a high-midfielder, but also has the ability to play the role of a box character.
Villa can do it with someone like this on their team because they can say that they never really replaced Douglas Luiz after they sold him to Juventus last summer.
Meanwhile, Man City will be an interesting viewer, as they may also benefit from more options in the middle of the park, while perhaps more likely to afford the asking price of Galatasaray.
