NEW BID OF £10M FOR GARY MEDEL..

From Galatasaray!!!!

Galatasaray have entered the race to sign Cardiff City's Chilean star Gary Medel.

The 26-year-old midfielder has been already heavily linked with Italian Seri A side Inter Milan.

Now the Turkish club have made the approach for Medel who is in Chile recovering from a groin injury.

Medel, a record £11m signing from Seville in 2013, has been expected to move following Cardiff's relegation from the Premier League.

But he does not have a relegation trigger clause in his contract and Cardiff are want around £10m for the player.

Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed earlier in July the club have received enquiries for the player.

Medel shone as part of the defence which helped Chile to the last 16 of the World Cup, where they lost on penalties to Brazil.

He featured in midfield for Cardiff last season prompting former Cardiff player Andy Legg to say the Bluebirds played Medel out of position.

The interest in Medel comes after QPR have signed Bluebirds defender Steven Caulker for an undisclosed fee on four-year deal.

And the club have also accepted bids from Leicester City and Crystal Palace for striker Fraizer Campbell.

Good old Gala, when we need clubs/owners to overpay on transfers, look no further than Tan's loaned money, Turkish And Russian money

From Galatasaray!!!!

Where did you get this info?

If true inter will have no choice but to up their bid. I think Gary is destined for inter and has his heart set on the move, hopefully this will speed up the process.

Gala - is there a Dalman connection??

If so useful to drive Inter up the price range.

Just what the doctor ordered. Well done to the club for dragging out negotiations with Inter. Looks like we are learning from last seasons experiences.

Is it pounds or euros?

Hope it's not Lire!!! Lol.

It must be £'s for it to be a competitive bid.

If that stimulates a bidding war between Gala and Inter, so be it.

Just sit it out now. We could even end up with a profit now.

Let's be honest, the Italian bid and terms were just taking the piss. After Medel's WC performance, I actually think £10M is also too light given his profile. And I reckon someone will come in and try to trump the turks.......

Is it pounds or euros?

£10m? Better than inteer value.. bet he's like

Rofl, made my day

Does it say they have bid? I just see that we want 10m

Really hope this is true and Inter dont get him all the pathetic bids they made make it look like tapping up and unproffesional to me and starting with a €4m bid is an absolute joke no wonder Inter are no longer competitive sinking this low their an absolute joke of a club

Well... that's a lot better than Inter's bid. Once the bidding hits £11m I'll be happy.

Brill, feck off inter or come back with loads more money

But will Medel want to go to a club famous for paying out wages in monopoly money and kebab coupons?

Hopefully it'll at least drive Inter's bid up. If they're not broke already.

Why did Inter agree wages with Medal before they agreed a fee with Cardiff.

i dont think its a matter of where he wants to go. If Galatasaray offer more than Inter then why should we sell to Inter?
if he doesnt want to go to Turkey they he will have to stay with us wont he?

Because keeping an unhappy player at any club is a recipe for disaster, if Galatasaray isn't where he wants to go that doesn't mean he still wants to stay. Hence why hopefully Inter also make a better bid.
