"Galatasaray" ambition does not fade: nearing an agreement with Drogba, tempted by Toure © EuroFootball.com

The Istanbul "Galatasaray" club is close to an agreement with the famous Didier Drogba, as announced by the English press.

The information that the Ivory Coast national team footballer has received an offer from Turkey was also confirmed by the company representing Drogba.

It is said that the attacker, who has been wearing the "Shanghai Shenhua" jersey since last summer, will sign a one-and-a-half-year contract with "Galatasaray".

The 34-year-old veteran, who managed to score eight goals in eleven matches in China, would join forces with Dutch national team star Wesley Sneijder, who signed a contract with "Galatasaray" a few days ago. In addition, the Turks aim to attract "Man City" defender Kolo Toure to their ranks.

In the UEFA Champions League round of 16, "Galatasaray" will face Gelzenkircheno "Schalke".
