Galatasaray may make winter move for Zenit defender Nurali Alip

Galatasaray is tracking Zenit defender Nurali Alip, according to a Turkish journalist.

The 26-year-old Kazakhstan international has been offered to the Istanbul club.

Galatasaray could make a move for him in winter, but no offer has been confirmed.

Alip has played for Zenit since 2023, and his contract runs until 2028.

His Kazakh citizenship would allow him to count as a local player for Galatasaray, which has filled its available foreign-player places.

Alip has made 12 appearances for Zenit this season, and a possible winter bid is the next step mentioned.
