Galatasaray, which had a very busy few days during the final days of the transfer window, has finalized yet another signing following the acquisitions of Leao and Deniz Gül. An official statement has also been released by the Yellow-Reds. New signing El Chadaille Bitshiabu has arrived in Istanbul and made some noteworthy remarks.
Galatasaray, which really stepped on the gas during the final week of the transfer window, made one more move and bolstered its defense. Looking to bring in a backup for both Davinson Sanchez and Abdülkerim Bardakcı, the Yellow-Reds first approached national team player Yusuf Akçiçek, who plays for Al Hilal. However, Galatasaray was unable to complete this transfer because the player’s team did not authorize it.
