The reigning champions of Turkey’s Super Lig, Galatasaray, are reported to be exploring the possibility of bringing in Nigerian star Nathan Tella on loan.
After making a significant breakthrough in European football by joining Leverkusen from Southampton last summer, Tella played a crucial role in the team’s Bundesliga title win in his debut season at the BayArena. His impressive performance caught attention, and he became an integral part of the side.
However, this season hasn’t been as smooth-sailing for Tella, who has struggled to maintain a consistent starting spot due to limited playing time. In the previous season, he made 24 league appearances, mostly as a substitute, which restricted his impact on the pitch. So far this season, he has featured in eight matches under Xabi Alonso’s management.
Tella’s discontent with his current situation has been growing, and a loan move could be the ideal solution for him to showcase his skills and further hone his craft. With a loan deal, Galatasaray could offer Tella the opportunity to get more playing time and development, making it an appealing option for both parties involved.
