Galatasaray are monitoring the situation of Ghana midfielder Salis Abdul Samed as OGC Nice look to part ways with the 26-year-old before the close of the transfer window, sources have told Footy-Africa.
The Turkish club have expressed interest in the midfielder, but no formal offer or advanced negotiations have taken place.
Nice are determined to offload Abdul Samed this summer after he fell out of favour at the club. Despite having two years remaining on his contract, the Ligue 1 side are actively seeking a solution before the transfer window closes.
The Ghana international found opportunities limited last season, making just 18 Ligue 1 appearances as he struggled to establish himself in the team.

Galatasaray are understood to be assessing several midfield targets and have identified Abdul Samed as a player worth monitoring should the conditions become favourable.
A move away from Nice is increasingly likely, with both the club and the player open to a fresh start after a disappointing spell on the French Riviera.
Abdul Samed arrived in France with a strong reputation following his impressive performances at RC Lens, where he established himself as one of Ligue 1’s most consistent midfielders. A transfer this summer could provide the Ghana international with the opportunity to revive his career and return to regular first-team football.
