Leeds United’s pursuit of Galatasaray’s Kerem Aktürkoğlu could be back on track as the player reportedly intends to depart from the Turkish side due to feeling undervalued.
FotoSpor reveals that Aktürkoğlu, previously targeted by Leeds in January, is dissatisfied with his current situation at Galatasaray. He’s frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of recognition and earning potential, especially compared to loanee Tanguy Ndombele, who earns in a month what Aktürkoğlu earns in over a year.
Despite talks of a salary increase, which have failed to materialize, Aktürkoğlu has made the decision to leave at the end of the season. He believes he has hit his ceiling in Turkey and seeks to avoid the scrutiny of the fanbase.
Acting on his desire for a fresh start, Aktürkoğlu has instructed his agent not to pursue negotiations for a pay raise, indicating a strong commitment to seeking a transfer.
Leeds, who expressed interest in the player during the January transfer window, may now have an opportunity to reignite their pursuit. Despite Galatasaray’s previous resistance, Aktürkoğlu’s determination to leave could pave the way for a potential deal with Leeds United.
