Galatasaray offer to loan Everton’s Niasse

The Lions have made an official offer to take the Senegal international on loan until the end of the season.

Galatasaray have stepped up their search for a new striker and have identified Everton forward Oumar Niasse as one of their top transfer targets.

The Super Lig champions are reported to have offered the English club €500,000 to loan the player until the end of the current season.

Due to obligations and restrictions in place from UEFA for breaching Financial Fair Play rules, the Turkish club are restricted from making large sum transfers, thus limiting their financial reach.

Niasse has struggled for game time at Everton and is said to be looking for a way out. According to reports, he has agreed in principle to move to Istanbul, which means the two clubs must now reach a deal feasible for both sides to complete the transfer.

While Everton are hoping to off-load the striker permanently, Galatasaray are willing to take the player on loan initially with the option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the loan.
