A sale of McTominay this summer looked much less likely than last, but Galatasaray’s vice-chairman has suggested that it is very much a possibility.

Ibrahim Hatipoglu told CNN Turk: ‘We are interested in a player from the Premier League and Manchester United.

‘There is nothing more natural than the high cost of this. There are discussions regarding his transfer fee. For us, the total cost, including transfer fees and player receivables [salary], is important at the decision point.

‘Once the negotiations with both the club and the player are completed, the cost becomes apparent.’

Giving away more detail he said, via Haber Sarı Kirmizi, that Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojberg is also a target.

‘McTominay’s transfer is being discussed,’ said Hatipoglu. ‘Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is a good player, he has many suitors, he wants to see all options.’
