‘He received information from Osimhen’ - Turkish expert reveals Aina looking to join Galatasaray
Turkish journalist Mehmet Özcan has revealed that Ola Aina is looking at the possibility of joining Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray.
Aina has been linked with a number of clubs, including Galatasaray and even Premier League champions Manchester City. Roma have now emerged.
The details
According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, via Romapress.net, the Giallorossi are keen on signing a right back and have been working on Devyne Rensch from Ajax but are unable to reach an agreement with de Godenzonen.
They are now said to have reprioritised their focus to Aina, given his contract situation. Per the report, Roma’s sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, has initiated contact with the players' camp to discuss a possible move.
However, Forest are keen on keeping the former Torino man and have been in negotiations over a renewal. Still, it is unlikely they will sell him this January should they fail to seal an extension, as Aina is integral to their current success in the Premier League.
