“Galatasaray is a distinct possibility for Yuto,” Roberto Tukuda told FCInterNews.

“Turkey is a destination he’d like. In fact, I’d say at the moment that’s the only real solution for him. There aren’t any other concrete options that we’re considering.

“Melo? Yes, it’s possible he could be included as part of the same deal. We could have news in the next week.”
