According to the Colombian edition of AS, Galatasaray has set a departure price for Colombian defender Sanchez, and the Turkish club will not accept offers below 35 million euros.
Sanchez performed well in this World Cup. Although he missed a penalty in the shootout against Switzerland, his overall performance was still recognized. Galatasaray believes that the player's performance in the World Cup has increased his market value, and is therefore willing to listen to offers.
A Galatasaray executive told the Turkish media outlet Fanatik: "We will not accept any offers below 35 million euros."
Before the World Cup, Italian team Como had shown interest in Sanchez and was close to pushing for the deal. However, after the World Cup, the relevant conditions have changed. Galatasaray is not averse to selling the 30-year-old defender, partly considering the player's age, and partly believing that they can complete a high-value transfer due to his excellent World Cup performance.
However, Galatasaray is also not opposed to Sanchez remaining with the team. In addition to Como, Internazionale is also interested in Sanchez. Previously, there were reports that Internazionale might make an offer after the World Cup. In the Premier League, AFC Bournemouth is also monitoring the situation of the Colombian center-back.
Currently, Sanchez is on vacation. It is expected that interested clubs may accelerate their actions in the coming weeks.
