Wilfred Singo, who joined Galatasaray during the summer transfer period, quickly gained great admiration for his performance under the yellow-red jersey. As the details of the Ivorian footballer's contract emerged, the high release clause in his contract drew attention. These details in the star player's contract also revealed the Galatasaray management's economic plans for the future.
AIMING FOR HIGH REVENUE
Galatasaray aims to generate high revenue from Singo, who was transferred from the French Ligue 1 team Monaco for a transfer fee of 30.7 million euros during the summer period. The defender, who won the hearts of fans with his outstanding performance in the 1-0 victory against Liverpool, was also praised in the European press. It has been learned that the club management considers Singo a "smart investment" in terms of both sporting contribution and potential resale.
PLAN CHANGED
During the transfer process, it was reported that Galatasaray Sportif AŞ Vice President Abdullah Kavukcu initially reached an agreement for 10 million euros for Manuel Akanji from Manchester City. However, the plan changed after head coach Okan Buruk's preference.
Buruk stated, "Akanji is a versatile player, but my preference is Singo. He may seem expensive, but it would be a smart investment. Akanji is 30 years old, Singo is 24. There won't be a next sale for Akanji, but we can sell Singo, who is being pursued by Premier League clubs, for a good price." It was expressed that after these words, the management shifted their focus to Singo.
RELEASE CLAUSE REVEALED
It has been reported that Wilfred Singo's contract includes special release clauses with high transfer fees. According to the player's contract, the buyout fee is set at 60 million euros for the first year and 55 million euros for the second year. Agents have evaluated these figures as "normal and in line with market value," and it has been stated that Galatasaray plans a significant sale with this clause in the future.
EUROPEAN GIANTS ARE WATCHING
Singo's rising performance has also caught the attention of European giants. It is claimed that many clubs, especially in the English Premier League, are monitoring the star defender. The Galatasaray management expects the Ivorian player's value to increase even more in the upcoming seasons.
