Got this from the saintslist (old email forum), anyone know any more?
Looks as though we may be in for Orel Mangala from Stuttgart. 25M pounds is being banded. He is a midfield ‘enforcer’, 22 years old and a Belgian national

This article is a couple of weeks old, so looks like he’s been on the radar.

So Galatasaray have got money for Seri but not Lemina?
FULHAM CLOSE TO FINALISING REED
Fulham are close to finalising a permanent move for Southampton midfielder Harrison Reed .
The Premier League new boys had an £8m option on his loan move last summer. Fulham are also close to signing Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.
The midfielder would join on loan with an option to make the deal permanent. Meanwhile, the club have rejected a bid from Galatasaray for midfielder Jean-Michael Seri , who spent last season on loan with the Turkish club.
Maybe he’s much cheaper? Or perhaps they’ve found Lemina out. Was he a regular for them?
Galatasaray 19/20:
Seri - 27 appearances, 2 goals
Lemina - 20 appearances, fuck all goals

Similar records.
I couldn’t see a fee mentioned for Seri. I guess he’s either cheaper or not such a Bertie-big-bollocks?
£2m loan fee for Lemina may have been the issue

Everybody being linked with him. The Echo says we have had a bid turned down too.
Numez? Was hoping for Santiago Munez
This says with an ‘option to buy’. I guess Fulham need to stay up and Lemina needs to turn up.

Now watch Fulham get deliberately relegated so they don’t have to fulfil their obligation, especially after they’ve seen him in the flesh…

If they do decide to go down the deliberate relegation route I know just the right centre back and striker to help them.
Wesley, Guido - get ya coats.

Hopefully with Reed and Lemina gone that frees up some funds for a PEH replacement to complete a decent window for us.

He’s not a Ralph-type player, and I can absolutely see why he’s been moved on.
But I’m still sad he’s gone. Pure quality, on his day/when he felt like it.
I would guess that option includes a set number of actual appearances
Can’t even spell lemonade…
