Turkish football giants Galatasaray have expressed serious interest in signing CSKA Moscow midfielder Matvey Kislyak.
As reported by İdman.Biz, Turkish journalist Burak Eren revealed the information on social media platform X.
According to the source, the Istanbul club are closely monitoring the Russian transfer market and regularly sending scouts to watch potential targets in action.
However, securing Kislyak's signature could prove difficult. CSKA Moscow are under no immediate pressure to sell the midfielder and are reportedly planning to demand between €35 million and €40 million for his transfer.
The 20-year-old Russian has made 16 appearances across all competitions this season, providing three assists.
His current contract with CSKA runs until the summer of 2029, strengthening the Russian club's negotiating position.
According to Transfermarkt, Kislyak's market value is estimated at €25 million, significantly below CSKA's reported asking price.
Galatasaray already have a Russian midfielder in their squad, 21-year-old Aleksey Batrakov, who has established himself as a key player and regularly features in the starting line-up.
The potential arrival of Kislyak could further strengthen the Turkish champions' midfield options as they continue to explore opportunities in the Russian market.
