Turkcell Super League champion Galatasaray announced on the team's Web site Friday that the club has agrred a three-year contract with former Liverpool midfielder Harry Kewell, however the deal is not done yet, Kewell's agent has said.
"We have not finalized a deal for Harry and it's down to two possibilities," Mandic told FourFourTwo's website Friday. "People will be notified if and when Harry decides on one of the options, which may be around noon on Saturday.
“We will not make any other comments until then," Mandic said.
Kewell, 29, was available to Galatasaray on a free transfer after he was released by Liverpool earlier this year following five injury-troubled seasons at Anfield.
Galatasaray board member Haldun Üstünel said the team was excited with the new signing. “We will see a very important player wearing the Galatasaray jersey,” he told Galatasaray TV. “It is very exiting, and Kewell shares our excitement.”
Üstünel said the main reason behind the transfer was Kewell's experience and career. “We will do anything to repeat the success of 2000,” he added, referring to Galatasaray's most successful year in the club's history when it clinched the Turkish league, UEFA Cup and European Super Cup titles.

No Olympics for Kewell:
The move to Galatasaray ended any possibility of Kewell being one of Australia's three overage players at the Beijing Olympics. Fellow Socceroos Archie Thompson, David Carney and Jade North were the three over-23 players in coach Graham Arnold's Olympic squad named Friday.
"It's not easy for him as soon as he signs for a new club to ask for four weeks to go to the Olympics," said Olympics coach Graham Arnold, who played and was an assistant coach at two previous Games.
During his time with Leeds, Kewell played against Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup semifinal in 2000, when he was sent off.
Kewell was frequently criticized in the British media for missing so many matches at Liverpool, which he joined in 2003 on a lucrative contract from Leeds. He has struggled with injuries again this season.
Kewell scored a goal and helped set up another in Australia's 3-1 win over Qatar last month that guaranteed Australia a place in the second round of Asian qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
