Galatasaray will not make a move for German international Lukas Podolski, despite reports of a 10 million euro bid having been received by Arsenal for the striker.



However, after Galatasaray executives met newly appointed manager Cesare Prandelli to discuss transfer targets, it appears Podolski is not a name that the Turkish club are pursuing.

"I asked Cesare Prandelli if we should target Lukas Podolski," Galatasaray president Unal Aysal said.

"Prandelli told us that Podolski would be a luxury transfer and that he isn't required. As a result we didn't pursue the matter further."
