Galatasaray confirmed on Saturday the signing of Turkish defender Abdulkerim Bardakci.
In a statement, the Istanbul football club said they signed a three-year contract with an option for another season.
Galatasaray will pay Ittifak Holding Konyaspor a €2.8 million (nearly $3 million) transfer fee to acquire the player, the Lions revealed on Türkiye's Public Disclosure Platform.
The club added that Bardakci would receive 17 million Turkish liras ($1 million) for the 2022-23 season, 19.5 million Turkish liras ($1.15 million) for the 2023-24 season, and 23.4 million Turkish liras ($1.38 million) for the 2024-25 season.
