Roma secure first refusal on two Galatasaray players

Roma have secured an option for two Galatasaray players.

Roma sold Nicolo Zaniolo to Gala on Wednesday - and it's emerged part of the deal included options on two of their young players.

Yusuf Demir, formerly of Barcelona and Rapid Vienna, and 16 year-old Efe Akman both now are tied to Roma via first refusal deals.

Demir only moved to Gala this season from Rapid.

Meanwhile, Akman is regarded among the best players of his age in Turkey.
