Galatasaray have made an offer of £12.9m for Sheffield United midfielder Ismaila Coulibaly.

The 20-year old has come to the attention of a host of top European club after impressing during the first of a three-year loan at Belgian club Beerschot.

The Blades bought the youngster for close to £2m last September from Sarpsborg, before sending him on loan to Beerschot, a club part-owned by United owner Prince Abdullah.

It's understood Galatasaray's bid for the box-to-box midfielder, who has scored five goals in 22 appearances in the Jupiter Pro League, falls short of the club's valuation, says Sky Sports.

Earlier this year the Blades turned down at £10m bid for the Mali U20 international from AC Milan.
