According to Turkiye Gazetesi, Galatasaray turned down an offer of Davinson Sanchez plus cash from Tottenham for Victor Nelsson in the summer.
Sanchez joined Galatasaray in a deal worth €9.5m (£8.1m) a few days after the European transfer window closed since Turkish clubs were allowed to sign players until the second week of September.
The Colombian has hit the ground running in Istanbul, having already established himself as an indispensable part of Okan Buruk’s backline.

Tottenham’s player plus cash offer was rejected
Turkiye Gazetesi have now revealed that Spurs proposed a different formula for Sanchez’s move to Galatasaray, offering the 27-year-old plus €2m (£1.7m) for Nelsson.
However, this was turned down by the Turkish giants, who valued the Danish centre-back at €25m (£21.7m).
The report goes on to explain that collecting such a fee for Nelsson has now ‘become a dream’ for Galatasaray as the 25-year-old has lost his place in the club’s starting eleven and his valuation has subsequently dropped.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham’s interest in a potential part-exchange deal for Nelsson might perhaps explain why the club were willing to Sanchez leave without signing a replacement before the European transfer window shut on September 2.
However, there is no indication at the moment that Spurs are going to reignite their interest in the Dane in January.
