Muntari Close To Galatasaray Switch

Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari is on the verge of joining Galatasaray, according to a report in Ntv Spor.

The Turkish club have been credited with an interest in the Ghana international all summer as they look to bolster their squad after finishing eighth in the league last season.

Muntari, who spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at Sunderland, is out of favour at Inter and will reportedly be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.

It is believed the midfielder's agent, Fabien Piveteau, has reached an agreement with Galatasaray following a meeting in Istanbul earlier on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old, who joined Inter from Portsmouth in 2008, is now set to become the latest player to reinforce Galatasaray, who have recruited the likes of Felipe Melo and Tomas Ujfalusi in the summer transfer window.
