Galatasaray president Unal Aysal and the club s manager Fatih Terim have expressed an interest in signing Fulham forward Kerim Frei.
The 19-year-old has struggled to break through at Craven Cottage since moving from Swiss club Grasshopper in 2011.
He made just eight appearances under Martin Jol last term, and was recalled from a loan spell with then-Championship outfit Cardiff after just three outings.
But Aysal is keen to hand the Turkey international, who was born in Switzerland, a move away from the London club.
We are interested in Kerim Frei, he told Lig TV.
And Terim echoed Aysal s sentiments, saying: We have been scouting Frei for over a year and remain interested.
Barring one cap earned with Turkey s Under-20 team, Frei represented Switzerland at all age groups up to Under-21.
However, he elected to represent the country of his father s birth at full international level, rather than that of his own.
He has scored just one goal in 33 appearances for Fulham, which came during a 2-2 draw with Odense during his side s 2011-12 Europa League campaign.
