Manchester City FC transfer news: Fernando on verge of signing for Turkish giants Galatasaray

Turkish giants Galatasaray are closing in on the signing of Manchester City midfielder Fernando.

The 29-year-old is expected to leave the Etihad this summer after struggling for regular first-team football under Pep Guardiola.

Fernando made just 27 appearances last season and, alongside City's transfer business too date, it has been suggested that they are wiling to let the Brazilian leave.

City have already signed Bernardo Silva from Monaco this summer and are believed to be interested in Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, which would leave Fernando well down the pecking order at the Etihad.

According to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, Galatasaray now have agreed personal terms with Fernando and are close to finalising a three-year deal worth just under £2m-per-season.

A transfer fee, however, is yet to be reached but given City's desire to let Fernando leave, Galatasaray are confident of wrapping up the deal fairly swiftly.

The Brazilian was not included in City's squad for their pre-season trip to the USA, further suggesting his time at the Etihad is up.

Fernando is set to be joined at Galatasaray by Sofiane Feghouli, with the West Ham midfielder also on the verge of completing a move to the Turkish side.
