Stoke City midfielder Josh Laurent is the target of interest from Turkish outfit Gaziantep.
Reports from Turkey have linked the Süper Lig side with a move for the former Reading player. They are said to be “accelerating,” plans to sign him, and they have been in contact with Laurent’s representatives, as per the reports.
The 29-year-old’s current deal with the Potters is set to expire next summer, meaning that Gaziantep would be able to sign him on a pre-contract agreement after January 1, 2025, meaning he would leave the club for free.
Laurent has been with City for the past two seasons, appearing 76 times in all competitions and scoring eight goals.
Stoke City may be open to Josh Laurent sale this summer
Liam Burks, Football League World’s Stoke fan pundit, has said that he isn’t surprised by the interest in the midfielder, having previously attracted the attention of Italian side Frosinone last summer, as they attempted a €4 million loan-to-buy offer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
