My Turkish is not so premium, but this caught my eye this morning.
SON DAKİKA! Sporting Kansas City, Galatasaray'da top koşturan Yasin Öztekin'e talip oldu. (Mehmet Özcan)
— MLS Türkiye (@TurkiyeMLS) August 11, 2015
The rough translation being "LAST MINUTE! Sporting Kansas City, Galatasaray, Toprak Yasin Öztekin. (Olasz)"
There also is some discussion of this on the interwebs via Turkish sports sites, but it's not clear if Sporting have signed him or simply made an offer which may or may not have been turned down.
The number I've seen thrown out is 3 million Euros, or about $3.3 million. Articles also discuss interest from English sides as well as from German Bundesliga side Hamburg.
Öztekin is a 28 year old winger currently playing with Galatasary, having signed in 2014 on a 2.5 million Euro transfer fee and has scored four goals in 20 matches for them.
