Galatasaray are ready to sign Barcelona striker Memphis Depay.

The Holland international is off contract in June and can sign a pre-contract with any foreign club from January 1.

However, Sport says Gala would prefer to bring Depay to Turkey in January.

The Istanbul giants are reluctant to pay a fee and instead will push Depay to secure an early release from his contract.

Depay has been relegated to a backup role this season at Barca since Robert Lewandowski's arrival from Bayern Munich.
