Turkish giants Galatasaray are interested in signing Phillipe Coutinho on loan from Aston Villa for the remainder of the season, according to reports. 

The Brazilian midfielder has struggled to implement himself within the Villa squad this season and has been restricted to just six Premier League starts during the campaign. 

With the ex-Liverpool star being one of the club's highest earners, there are hopes they'll be able to sort a transfer for Coutinho within the next week. 

According to the Sun, the Super Lig side want to bring in the out-of-favour midfielder before the Turkish transfer window closes on Wednesday. 

The outlet claim that Galatasaray are seeking an initial loan deal but may be open to negotiating a permanent agreement further down the line.
