Nigeria’s Super Eagles skipper, Ahmed Musa has been linked again with Turkish Super Lig giants, Galatasaray.
According to Fotomac, the Nigeria international’s agent has been contacted by the Turkish club and the two parties have met to discuss a deal.
Musa dismissed reports linking him with a move to the Istanbul club a few months ago, but has since opened the door to a European return after leaving Al Nassr.
The 28-year-old is a free agent after bringing his two-year stay in Saudi Arabia to an end in late October. Musa scored 11 goals in 57 games for the Riyadh-based club but requested a termination of his contract after stating his desire to play at the top level in Europe once again.
Musa starred for CSKA Moscow after joining the Russian club from VVV-Venlo in 2012 and a move to Leicester City duly followed. He failed to find his feet at the English Premier League club, netting five times in 33 matches before returning to Moscow on-loan.
A permanent move away from the Foxes followed after the 2018 FIFA World Cup and having spent the last two years playing in the Saudi Professional League he now yearns for European club football once again.
Musa has been included in the Super Eagles squad that will face Sierra Leone in back-to-back 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this month.
