Galatasaray are pushing Stoke City over decision on Abdoulaye Faye.
Gala coach Gheorghe Hagi is keen to bring Faye to Istanbul in January, but wants a quick answer so to have time to seek an alternative if the defender chooses to stay.
Potters boss Tony Pulis has already declared he doesn't want to lose Faye, who has been restricted to a bit-part role this season.
The chance to work with Romanian legend Hagi could turn Faye's head, with his contract also due to expire in June.
