Galatasaray Bolster Defense with Major Signing of Wilfried Singo
In a high-profile move ahead of the new season, Turkish giants Galatasaray have officially announced the acquisition of Ivorian defender Wilfried Singo from AS Monaco. The 24-year-old joins the Super Lig club on a long-term deal valued at €30.8 million, strengthening Galatasaray’s back line as they aim for domestic and European success.
Big Investment in Defensive Talent
Galatasaray’s commitment to reinforcing their squad was evident in the financials of the deal. The club will pay €30.8 million to secure Singo’s services, reflecting both his experience and potential. In addition, Galatasaray agreed to a sell-on clause, committing 10% of any future resale profit to Monaco—a move that underscores the French club’s continued interest in the player’s future.
A Proven International Performer
Singo arrives in Istanbul with a solid international pedigree. The right-back has earned 31 caps for the Ivory Coast national team and played a key role in recent international competitions. His blend of athleticism, defensive awareness, and attacking drive makes him a valuable addition to Okan Buruk’s squad.
Long-Term Commitment with Lucrative Terms
The Ivorian has signed a five-year contract with Galatasaray, keeping him at the club until 2030. According to the club’s official statement, Singo will earn €4.8 million annually, a testament to his stature and expected role in the team’s ambitions moving forward.
Galatasaray Continue Strategic Squad Building
This signing marks another ambitious step in Galatasaray’s summer transfer window strategy, as the club looks to maintain its dominance in the Turkish Super Lig and compete strongly in European competitions. With Singo now part of their defensive unit, the team adds both youth and experience to its lineup.
