PSG linked with Galatasaray's Batrakov, eyes on 2027

The situation

Paris Saint Germain are said to admire Aleksey Batrakov, the 21-year-old Russia midfielder who only joined Galatasaray on 20 August 2026 for €25m from Lokomotiv Moskva. The newest reports frame this as a longer-term pursuit. Luis Campos, with Luis Enrique's agreement, is described as tracking Batrakov with the summer of 2027 in mind, while a release clause of around €60m is cited as a route into any winter deal. This is interest, nothing firmer. Galatasaray, for their part, are reported to be negotiating a renewal to strip out that clause.

The reporting

The sourcing is light. Foot01 carried the interest on 4 November and, on 30 October, relayed TeamTalk's summer-2027 story. Diario SPORT's report was carried by Barça Universal by 29 October, framing Barcelona as monitoring him too, with no formal offer made. No trusted reporter has backed any of it; the outlets carrying it are tabloids or aggregators repeating one another.

The outlook

The chance of anything happening by the February deadline is slim. He signed three months ago, his deal runs to 30 June 2031, and the reporting points to 2027 rather than this winter. For a January move to take shape, PSG would need to trigger or negotiate that clause before Galatasaray remove it, and no bid has been reported.

What happens next

Manchester United and Barcelona are also linked. The trigger to watch is simple: an actual offer from PSG, or Galatasaray completing the renewal that kills the clause.
