Galatasaray reportedly make a bid of £2.2m to try to sign Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic, who has never played a first-team game with the Blues.

Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Galatasaray.

In 2014, when Pasalic was just 19, Chelsea shelled out a reported £3m to sign him from Hajduk Split but he has failed to make a single appearance for the Blues.

Instead, he has spent three loan spells at Elche, AS Monaco and AC Milan respectively, but it now appears that a club are ready to sign him on a permanent basis.

According to Turkish outlet Milliyet, Galatasaray are willing to pay Chelsea a fee of £2.2m and Blues owner Roman Abramovich is said to welcome the chance to sell the Croatian international.

Last season, Pasalic played an active role with Milan at San Siro, with five goals being scored in 24 appearances in Serie A.

The 22-year-old still has two years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
