Galatasaray join Juventus in the race for ex-Napoli star Dries Mertens

The all-time leading goalscorer in Napoliโ€™s history, Dries Mertens remains a free agent. However, he has no shortage of potential suitors amid the summer transfer window.

According to transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Galatasaray have now emerged as a serious candidate in the pursuit of Dries Mertens.

Nevertheless, the report claims that the Turkish club will have to raise their offer in a bid to match the playerโ€™s wage demand of around โ‚ฌ5 million per season.

It is also suggested that both Marseille and Ajax are closely monitoring the situation.

Since leaving the Naples-based club as a free agent earlier in the summer, the 35-year-old superstar has not managed to find a new club.

Reports have also confirmed Juventusโ€™ interest in getting the player on board to reinforce their attacking department.

An experienced campaigner, Mertens will evaluate all the offers on his table before coming to a judgement regarding his future move in the approaching days.
