Lyon has turned down an offer from Galatasaray for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The Turkish team Galatasaray is trying to recruit a right-back before the Turkish transfer window closes on February 11, 2025.
Galatasaray had previously attempted to sign two Ligue 1 right-backs, Przemysław Frankowski of Lens and Clinton Mata of Lyon, but both bids were rejected.
Second time unlucky
Despite having a previous offer for Clinton Mata rejected, Galatasaray made another attempt for a different Lyon player, Maitland-Niles. Lyon refused to consider any offers for Maitland-Niles because they are under a transfer ban and cannot sign a replacement.
