Galatasaray are stepping up their efforts in England to secure deals for Manuel Akanji and Ederson from Manchester City.

Negotiations are ongoing with both players' representatives and the club, though no agreements have been reached yet, with valuations between the sides reportedly still far apart in the case of Ederson.
Manchester City remain open to selling Akanji as Pep Guardiola looks to reduce the size of his squad ahead of the new season. The Swiss defender has been a key figure at the Etihad, but City appear willing to let him leave if terms can be agreed.
For the goalkeeper, Diogo Costa has emerged as Galatasaray's preferred alternative behind Ederson, with an official offer reportedly submitted worth €20 million plus add-ons.
The Turkish side are keen to strengthen their squad before the season gets underway and are determined to advance both transfers quickly.
Both deals remain in the early stages, with talks expected to continue over the coming days as Galatasaray attempt to bridge the gaps in valuation and finalise terms.
Guardiola's squad reshaping continues to be a major theme for City this summer, with several departures likely before the window closes.
