Blackburn Rovers set to sell Grella to Galatasaray

Blackburn Rovers are set to offload midfielder Vince Grella to Turkish club Galatasaray.

The 30-year old is set to become the third Australian, behind Harry Kewell and Lucas Neill, to join the Istanbul-based club.

Grella's agent, Italian-based Sergio Berti, is believed to putting together the final pieces of the deal now and it has been reported that Grella will not say not to the move.

"Blackburn and Gala' have agreed to the deal, now it's up to Vinnie and I don't see any stumbling blocks at all," a source close to Grella said.

"He gets a fresh start at a club which will suit him financially he will be better off also.

"Everybody knows that he has struggled with injuries at Blackburn and their fans haven't seen the best of him, simply for that reason.

"A fresh start will suit him and Blackburn will not stand in his way."
