Midfielder Mario Lemina is close to returning to Galatasaray from Wolves for £2.5m.

The 31-year-old should complete a move to Turkey to end a two-year stay at Molineux.

He previously played for Galatasaray on loan from Southampton in 2019-20, making 24 appearances.

Al-Shabab wanted to take him to the Saudi Pro League earlier in the window but they were only willing to sign him for free, something which was not considered by Wolves.

Lemina lost his captaincy at Molineux in December, following a clash with West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, and a January move had been expected.

Manager Vitor Pereira said last month that the former Southampton man would not play until the transfer window had shut, with Lemina having initially refused to make himself available for selection before a U-turn.
