Galatasaray are intensifying their transfer plans for the January window, as manager Okan Buruk has made midfield reinforcement a priority. The club's management has begun making contacts in England for a player in the number 6 position. The most serious candidate is Vitaly Janelt, a 27-year-old German midfielder from Premier League club Brentford. Janelt has not extended his contract with Brentford, which is set to expire at the end of the season. He has made 11 appearances in the Premier League this season and has a market value of €18.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Eintracht Frankfurt has also been associated with the player.
