Leeds United are considering a move for a former Arsenal star this summer.
The player has a £20million release clause but a potential move is unlikely to be straightforward.
There is interest in the individual from other high-profile teams, including a surprise Champions League club.
Although he suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, the player is still very highly rated.
Leeds are looking to strengthen their squad following their return to the top flight.
Daniel Farke’s side have already made one signing this summer, bringing in forward Lucas Nmecha from Wolfsburg.
As reported by The Times, Leeds are pursuing a potential move for Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Ramsdale made 30 appearances in the Premier League for the Saints last season following his move from Arsenal.
The 27-year-old’s relegation release clause has now come into effect, which has also alerted Galatasaray.
With the Turkish club having secured their place in the Champions League league phase for next season they could be an attractive option for Ramsdale.
Galatasaray won the Turkish Super Lig last campaign, finishing eleven points ahead of their closest challengers Fenerbahce.
Fernando Muslera, 39, is leaving Galatasaray this summer, with Ramsdale one of the candidates to replace him.
Ramsdale joined Arsenal in 2021 having previously played for Sheffield United and Bournemouth.
There have been suggestions that Ilan Meslier could leave Leeds this summer, which could explain their interest in Ramsdale.
Ramsdale has five caps for England, although he wasn’t included in Thomas Tuchel’s most recent squad.
