Furkan Uzun backs Alexey Batrakov for potential Barcelona switch

Turkish journalist Furkan Uzun believes Alexey Batrakov has a realistic opportunity to join Barcelona from Galatasaray.

The 21-year-old Russian midfielder moved to the Istanbul club last summer for €25m, signing a five-year contract with the Turkish side.

Batrakov has already made an impression against Barcelona, scoring in the second-round match of the league phase of the Champions League.

Uzun has now assessed the possibility of the midfielder making a future move to the Catalan club, saying Batrakov has “good chances” of completing a transfer to Barcelona.
