ANGEL DI MARIA is reportedly being lined up for a shock deadline day move to Galatasaray.
The rest of Europe’s transfer window may have closed at the end of January but Turkish sides have until Saturday to finish their business.
Foot Mercato claims the Turkish giants are determined to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
And, despite being nine points clear at the top of the Super Lig table, Gala chiefs don’t want to take any chances.
They have already raided Roma for Nicolo Zaniolo this month.
But Di Maria has now emerged as a potential late transfer.

Galatasaray boast a number of top names in Dries Mertens, Lucas Torreira and Mauro Icardi.
And a move to Istanbul would also see Di Maria link up with ex-Man United pal Juan Mata.

And should they lure pal Lionel Messi back to the Nou Camp from PSG, Di Maria is likely to follow.
