Scott McTominay is a prime transfer target for Galatasaray, vice-president Ibrahim Hatipoglu has confirmed.
The box-to-box midfielder has represented Manchester United over 250 times and provided several key goal contributions.
He played in all three of Scotland's matches at Euro 2024 and was since granted three weeks off. He will return to training on Wednesday and could even feature against Rangers at Murrayfield on Saturday.
“We are interested in a player from the Premier League and Manchester United,” Hatipoglu told CNN Turkey.
“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.”
He went on to say: “McTominay’s transfer is being discussed. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is also good player, he has many suitors, he wants to see all options.”

Erik ten Hag spoke after Manchester United's 1-0 pre-season friendly loss to Rosenborg and hinted that the 27-year-old, who is also interesting Fulham, is still part of his plans.
He said: “It [the return of players who were at Euro 2024] starts on Wednesday with Scott [McTominay] returning. Then, next week, Rasmus Højlund and Christian Eriksen are returning, then they go on the tour.”
It is reported that United's hierarchy are not 'actively looking to sell' McTominay but a 'suitable bid' in the region of £40million may be considered. The same applies for several members of their squad this summer.
