Galatasaray’s move for Lucas blocked:
The Brazilian midfielder was set for a loan move to Turkey this summer with reported suggesting that a deal between the two clubs was stuck. But it is now understood that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has blocked his sale and wants him at the club till the injury crisis is solved.
This has seen Galatasaray withdraw their interest with sporting director Levent Nazifoglu stating: “We are no longer pursuing Lucas Leiva. We will continue efforts to sign alternative names instead.”
