Galatasaray ask for meeting with Mendes over Cristiano's signing

For several weeks now, Galatasaray have been keeping a close eye on the complicated situation of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, who was banned by his club after leaving for the dressing room early against Tottenham.

The Portugal international ended up training with the Under-21 side as punishment and there has even been talk of CR7 leaving Old Trafford in January, due to his snubbing of Erik ten Hag.

And this is where the Turkish club comes in. Because the owner of the institution has decided to take a step forward to try to sign Cristiano in winter. This is what the Turkish newspaper 'Fotomaç' claims.

Erden Timur reportedly asked for a meeting with the Portuguese star's agent, Jorge Mendes, to discuss a possible transfer in the winter transfer window, as the former Juventus player's plan is to find a new club as soon as possible. 

According to the aforementioned media, the Galatasaray president wants to start negotiations with Mendes for the transfer of the United player in November. Cristiano, who is living his second spell in Manchester, has a contract until next summer.
