Galatasaray are in advanced talks for Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva.

Fanatik says the transfer to Galatasaray could be confirmed on Friday.

The Brazilian is reportedly deemed surplus to requirements at Liverpool and will be allowed to leave for Turkey in order to increase his playing time.

Turkish clubs that are listed on the stock exchange must disclose information about transfer talks to their shareholders before the formal completion of any transfer.

Information of such talks is expected to be released before the weekend.
