Galatasaray eyeing Schneiderlin

Morgan Schneiderlin has emerged as a target of Galatasaray, according to reports.

Citing Ali Naci Kà¼çà¼k, the Turkish Football News Twitter account suggests that the Istanbul giants have made a move to sign Schneiderlin from Everton, although it is not clear whether it would be in a permanent deal or merely on loan.

Schneiderlin is one of the players whom the Toffees could let go during the current transfer window, particularly following the acquisitions of André Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin, although Idrissa Gueye's departure for Paris Saint-Germain and James McCarthy's imminent switch to Crystal Palace means that Marco Silva may still need the Frenchman.

Schneiderlin was forced to play second fiddle for Gomes for much of last season after the on-loan Portuguese recovered from a hamstring injury but enhanced his damaged stock among Evertonians by deputising impressively when called upon earlier this year.

Signed by Ronald Koeman in a £20m deal from Manchester United in January 2017, Schneiderlin has made 70 appearances in all competitions for Everton.
