Emi Martinez could yet get his move from Aston Villa, talkSPORT understands.
Martinez looked to have played his last game for Villa after being left out of Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace amid interest from Manchester United.
United opted to invest in youth by signing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp instead of Martinez.
But the Argentine World Cup winner is wanted by Galatasaray, and the Turkish transfer window remains open until September 12.
Gala were keen on Ederson, but the Manchester City icon joined rivals Fenerbahce instead.
Villa are expected to allow Martinez to leave if they receive a suitable offer to help with UEFA spending rules.

Alexander Isak's agent, Vlado Lemic, sent a cryptic message to talkSPORT after his client's move to Liverpool went through on deadline day.
The Swede completed a British record transfer to Anfield from Newcastle United, which talkSPORT understands to be worth £125million.
And after a summer in which Isak refused to train or play for Newcastle, Lemic sent some quotes to host Jim White.
He read them out live on-air during the White and Jordan show.
The message read: "It's nice when you have someone to be with, but it is even nicer when you know who you will never be with again."
Once the deal was confirmed, the Toon issued a 37-word statement about Isak, while the player hasn't said anything about Newcastle yet on social media.
He is now training with Sweden ahead of the September international break, where he is training with former teammates Emil Krafth and Anthony Elanga.
The only current Toon players to acknowledge Isak's move to Liverpool are Anthony Gordon and Sven Botman.
On an Instagram story, Gordon said: "Regardless of the situation and what's gone on.
Playing at the Etihad Stadium will be very, very special for me.
“I am very excited for what lies ahead and can promise that I will give absolutely everything to try and help the Club achieve even more success.”

Jamie O'Hara was left outraged by Jason Cundy's claim that Alexander Isak leaves Newcastle as a club legend.
After a long and dramatic summer transfer saga, Isak has left the Magpies and completed a record £125million move to Liverpool.
Speaking on The Sports Bar for talkSPORT after the move, Cundy explained the situation that the Magpies are in now that he's left.
"The problem they've got now, Newcastle, is that he is plastered all over their greatest success in a generation," he said.
"He's very much part of that, so he is a Newcastle legend.
"Is he a legend?" O'Hara hit back, before Cundy insisted: "He is!"
But O'Hara wasn't having any of it and added: "Do me a favour, don't be calling him a legend, come on.
"If you think about Newcastle legends, you cannot put Alexander Isak there."
Cundy then replied: "Alexander Isak is a Newcastle legend for what he helped them achieve."
