Galatasaray claim they have won the race to sign injury-plagued forward Harry Kewell following the end of his contract with Liverpool
The 29-year-old Australia international was not offered fresh terms at Anfield this summer after starting little over 100 games during five seasons on Merseyside.
Portsmouth and Fulham were both linked with moves for the free agent winger, but the Turkish champions claim they have agreed terms with Kewell over a free transfer switch.
However the situation remains unclear as the player's agent, Bernie Mandic, claims Galatasaray have jumped the gun in announcing the capture of the former Leeds United starlet.
"We have not finalised a deal for Harry and it's down to two possibilities," he told Australian media.
"People will be notified if and when Harry decides on one of the options which may be around noon on Saturday European time.
"We will not make any other comments until then."
