Blackburn Rovers midfielder Vince Grella is close to a move to Galatasaray.

Grella's agent, Italian-based Sergio Berti, is believed to putting together the final pieces of the deal now and it has been reported that Grella will not say not to the move.

"Blackburn and Gala have agreed to the deal, now it's up to Vinnie and I don't see any stumbling blocks at all," a source close to Grella told clicklancashire.com.

"He gets a fresh start at a club which will suit him financially he will be better off also.

"Everybody knows that he has struggled with injuries at Blackburn and their fans haven't seen the best of him, simply for that reason.

"A fresh start will suit him and Blackburn will not stand in his way."
