External reports indicate that Galatasaray are on the verge of completing the signing of Lesley Ugochukwu, with the Turkish champions confident the deal will be finalised in the coming days. A new official bid is expected to be submitted soon as negotiations move into their decisive stage.
Agreement has already been reached with Ugochukwu, and discussions between Galatasaray and Burnley are progressing positively. Both clubs are now close to finding common ground that would allow the 22‑year‑old midfielder to make the switch to Istanbul.
Burnley, Wolves, and West Ham were relegated to the Championship last season, and Ugochukwu is now poised for a new challenge in Turkey, where Galatasaray are preparing for another title push and European campaign.
Softfootball understands that Ugochukwu remains eligible to represent Nigeria at senior international level despite playing for France at youth level.
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle previously held talks with the midfielder about switching allegiance, but Ugochukwu has not yet made a final decision on his international future.
