RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Flamengo have made a bid to sign Galatasaray right-back Mariano Ferreira, according to widespread media reports.

The Rio de Janeiro giants have offered the Turkish side five million euros (5.7 million U.S. dollars) to secure the 32-year-old Brazilian in January, the Lance news service said on Friday.

Mariano is contracted with Galatasaray until June 2020, having joined the club from Sevilla for 4.3 million euros in July 2017.

He has made 40 top-flight appearances for the Istanbul club and was a key player in the team's 2017-18 Super Lig triumph.

The defender's career has also included spells with Cruzeiro, Atletico Mineiro, Fluminense and Bordeaux.
