Champions League club to make contact with £10m Wolves star about possible January move

Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly considering making a move for Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina in January.

The 29-year-old has only been with Wanderers since the start of the year.

Wolves signed him from Nice for around £10 million.

And that was brilliant business, with Lemina regularly impressing with his performances in the midfield.

Lemina has added some much needed physicality and tenacity, after Wolves fans had long watched the technical quality of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho.

But Lemina has seemingly been attracting interest with his good form in the Wolves shirt…

Galatasaray eyeing Mario Lemina

Fanatik have boldly claimed that Galatasaray are considering a mid-season swoop for Lemina.

Is is stated that Lemina is expected to be contacted by Gala officials in the coming days, to find out his view on a potential switch to Turkey.

Lemina, of course, is a former Galatasaray player.

He played for them on loan from Southampton in the 2019/20 season, and made 28 appearances for them.

Lemina going nowhere

This is a very bold claim from Fanatik, and it would extremely surprising if it came to pass.

Lemina is now one of Wolves’ most important players.

Not only is he a brilliant midfielder, and someone Dave Edwards thinks is actually one of the best in the Premier League, but he is also a leader.

Wolves just cannot be losing a player like him.

He’s had many great performances for Wolves since his arrival.

It’s no surprise Lemina has interest from other clubs, but – just like Pedro Neto – his exit simply cannot be sanctioned, especially mid-season.
