Alexey Batrakov Draws Elite European Interest as Galatasaray Set €60 Million Valuation

Galatasaray's 21-year-old Russian forward Alexey Batrakov is enjoying a stellar run of form after initially making his mark against Barcelona by scoring in a 4–1 defeat. He has since added three more goals in his next two Champions League appearances, including a match-winning brace against Stuttgart (2–0), bringing his total to five goals and three assists in 12 matches for the Turkish club.

Following his impressive performances, Batrakov has firmly placed himself on the radar of Europe's elite. According to Ekrem Konur, scouts from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have closely monitored him in person, returning with glowing reports. With his long-term contract running until June 2031, Galatasaray have made it clear they will demand his full €60 million release clause from any prospective suitors next summer.
