Seems a bit early to accept a loan for him.

We should still be looking to sell him if we can.
Given his issues with us and an apparently underwhelming stint at the one club he might feel comfortable at, who can we see buying him? Most well run clubs wouldn't touch him. Are we sure Everton can't be tempted?

Have Turkish media ever got anything right?
Every window they come out with exclusives and while I don't follow all their stories, they've never got anything about us right.

Such talent and yet it appears he can’t look in the mirror and realise his behaviour and attitude are disgusting.

Practically tax free for footballers over there so I'd imagine we have nothing to pay on his wages this season.

With most transfer links you just need to apply common sense. Ndombele is on £200k a week. Galatasaray's highest earner is on £70k a week.

The chances of them paying any player £200k a week is unlikely. For one who is not going to perform for them, no chance on a permanent deal.

A loan with them massively subsidising his wages is possible if no better offers come in.

Turkey is exactly where players like Tanguy end up. I can very easily see a subsidised loan deal being arranged (which would be a success in my books).

The Turkish league is the dumping ground for wasted talent.. Ozil and Adebayor are two prime examples. N’Dombele will be the next waster to grace their league.

If only Bissouma a fellow French speaking midfielder could light a fire under Tanguy. Then we could actually make use of the guy rather than farming him out on the cheap. He seemed happier when Sissoko was still at the club.

I think we'd struggle to give him away as he'd have to take a wage drop. Loan with subsidised wages is probably the only option.
A loan also opens up for the possibility that he might find some form and be worth something again. Unlikely, I know, but it's better than giving him away or terminating his contract imo. We should see if we can loan him out to a club in Italy.

Ndombele staying around isn't such a bad thing if we can't agree a fee for him to leave.

He could play in a more creative role.

Absolutely. Can see him becoming our Yaya Toure.

Only comparable with complaints about not getting a birthday cake.

He just spent months with a French team and apparently didn't pull up any trees.

That said if we can't get a good offer and Conte is willing to work with him... We've seen his quality, it just doesn't last very long.
