French daily newspaper L’Equipe claims that Galatasaray are set to complete the signing of French goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso.
The 35-year-old has been a free agent since his contract with Bordeaux expired in June, and his agents have been in talks with the Turkish giants for several weeks.
An agreement over a one-year deal appears to have been reached and the veteran shot-stopper is set to fly to Turkey later today.
Carrasso made a name for himself at Bordeaux, spending last nine years there, while he previously represented Marseille, Crystal Palace, Guingamp and Toulouse.
The goalkeeper was a part of the France national team between 2009 and 2012, making one appearance for Les Bleus.

In what is a heavyweight Serie A showdown on Sunday night, Lazio will welcome title contenders Inter Milan to the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio
Starting with the hosts, while Lazio might have eventually fallen to a 2-0 loss away at Spanish giants Atletico Madrid earlier in the week, Maurizio Sarri’s men punched their Champions League knockout stage ticket with plenty of time to spare. Shocking many across the continent and also clinching a Serie A silver medal finish last season, the one-time Chelsea boss has seen his squad continue to gain a reputation for their continued success on home soil. Last seen at the Stadio Olimpico picking up a gritty 1-0 victory against Genoa, Lazio have collected 22 points from their previous eight home fixtur…
Ben Davies has urged Wales to summon up the spirit of reaching the World Cup to beat Croatia and keep their European Championship qualification hopes alive.
Turkey’s shock win in Croatia on Thursday night damaged Welsh prospects of claiming a top-two place in Group D.
Wales must now realistically beat top seeds Croatia in Cardiff on Sunday and finish with wins over Armenia and Turkey next month to qualify for Euro 2024.
By doing so, Wales would qualify for a third successive major tournament – two European Championships either side of the 2022 World Cup.
“We know the situation we’re in and it’s definitely going to be challenging,” said Tottenham defender Davies, who will be wearing the Wales armband in the absence of injured captain Aaron Rams…
Jurgen Klopp was delighted for Jordan Henderson after the Liverpool captain continued to silence critics by winning the Champions League.
Henderson helped Klopp s men to a 2-0 win over Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid on Saturday.
The England midfielder has been the subject of criticism during his time at Anfield, where he arrived in 2011, and Klopp was thrilled for the 28-year-old.
I m happy for the boys. You know what people said about a couple of players of this team, he told a news conference.
Jordan Henderson is captain of the Champions League winner 2019 – that s satisfying actually.
CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.

Barcelona vice president Jordi Mestre has resigned amid reports he is unhappy about the apparently imminent dismissal of sporting director Pep Segura.
Mestre had been a director since 2010 and became vice president four years later but it has been claimed his departure is a show of solidarity to Segura, who is under pressure.
Local media in Barcelona reported on Wednesday that Mestre had refused to join fellow directors for a meeting purportedly planned to discuss the potential sacking of Segura.
Barca s sporting director has received significant criticism during his two years in the role, with the club s transfer business in that period generally underwhelming and often expensive.
Sport claim there has also been specific concern over Segura s work with…
Spanish veteran striker David Villa has announced his plans to leave the MLS after four seasons with New York City FC.
The World Cup winner is nearing the end of his contract with the American side and will leave New York on 1st January 2019.
Villa scored whopping 80 goals in 124 MLS appearances for the Boys in Blue, becoming the club’s first captain in the process.
David Villa has expressed his plans to continue playing. The 36-year-old forward has yet to reveal his plans in detail but reports coming from Spain indicate David Villa could move to Japan.
Joining compatriots Andres Iniesta and Fernando Torres as a third big Spanish attraction in the J.League is a possibility for Villa, who is at the moment being linked with Yokohama F. Marinos.

According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, Aston Villa are interested in the possibility of trying to sign Leicester City forward Islam Slimani. The striker is currently on loan at French club Monaco, but with Villa doing everything in their power to try and bring in a few new faces to the club, Slimani could get the call – alongside Mbwana Samatta who is set to undergo a medical with the club ahead of a proposed move from Genk.
In regards to Slimani, though, the deal is a little bit more complicated than that. The loan at Monaco means that Villa would need an agreement from both teams in order for a loan deal to be officially sanctioned.
Those issues shouldn’t be impossible to overcome, but it’s certainly still an obstacle of some description. <…
Manchester United s mini revival was ended by West Ham as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s men had won back-to-back matches in all competitions heading into Sunday s Premier League clash but were beaten by goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Aaron Cresswell late in both halves.
Yarmolenko scored the breakthrough goal 44 minutes in and Cresswell converted a free-kick six minutes from time to kill off United, who ended the match without a recognised striker after losing Marcus Rashford to injury.
Victory for the visitors would have lifted them into third place but it is West Ham who leap up the table, Manuel Pellegrini s men moving into the top four thanks to their third win of the season.
We ve done it again.
Edinson Cavani is in line to start Paris Saint-Germain s Ligue 1 clash with Brest on Saturday, head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed.
The French club s all-time leading scorer is out of contract at the end of the season and has cut a frustrated figure since returning from a hip injury last month.
He was an unused sub in the wins over Nice and Club Brugge last month and has been restricted to appearances off the bench in PSG s three most recent matches.
However, in-form striker Mauro Icardi is a fitness doubt with a foot injury sustained in Wednesday s 1-0 win against Club Brugge, opening the door for Cavani to make his first start since August 25.
