Galatasaray are holding talks with John Guidetti's management team over a possible move from Manchester City to the Istanbul club.
Guidetti is reported to be flattered with the interest shown, the Swedish international told Turkish radio station, Radyospor, "Galatasaray is a massive club, they have wonderful support and will play in the Champions League.
"It's great to attract interest from such a club, Istanbul is a lovely city and Elmander has spoken highly of Galatasaray to me a number of times.
"I don't know what stage negotiations are at but hearing of the interest alone makes me pleased. My management team deals with transfers, they keep me updated with any developments, I'm quite excited about the current situation."
"Elmander is a complete player and a great striker in my opinion. He works hard for Galatasaray, it would be an honour to play alongside a player like him.
"Fatih Terim is a very experienced, well renowned manager. I know Hamit Altintop recently joined Galatasaray, also Melo, Muslera, Elmander are all quality players. Galatasaray have some fantastic players in their squad" he said.
The Swedish international striker was later asked whether Galatasaray being in the Champions League would influence his decision to join the club.
Guidetti replied saying, "Ofcorse its an important factor, Galatasaray are in the Champions League, my doors are open, were all going to see where I am transferred to."
Guidetti had an impressive debut season on loan at Feyenoord. Manager Ronald Koeman described him as having the potential to be as good as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish International scored 20 goals and made eight assists in 23 games for the Eredivisie outfit last season. Guidetti has two years left on his contract at Manchester City.
Galatasaray are coming off the back of a title winning season and will be using the lure of first team as well as Champions League football to help secure a deal.
