Galatasaray have officially completed the signing of Wilfried Singo from AS Monaco in a deal worth €30.8 million ($36.06M), the Turkish giants announced on Thursday.
As part of the agreement, Monaco will also receive 10% of any future resale profit, ensuring a long-term benefit for the Ligue 1 side should Singo make another big-money move down the line.
The 24-year-old defender, capped 31 times for Ivory Coast, has put pen to paper on a five-year contract with Galatasaray. He will earn a reported €4.8 million per season, underlining the club’s commitment to strengthening their defensive options for both domestic and European campaigns.
A Statement Signing for Galatasaray
Singo’s arrival highlights Galatasaray’s ambition to reinforce their squad with proven international talent.

With his proven track record at club and international level, his addition could tilt the odds in Galatasaray’s favor in upcoming fixtures.
