Galatasaray complete shock double Premier League raid… the day AFTER transfer window shut
GALATASARAY have signed Premier League duo Serge Aurier and Carlos Vinicius.
The Turkish giants completed both transfers after last week’s deadline.
Aurier, 31, joined the club in a deal worth just £85,300 following a 16-month spell with Nottingham Forest.
An official statement from Galatasaray read: “An agreement has been reached with professional football player Serge Alain Stephane Aurier and his club Nottingham Forest Football Club Limited regarding the transfer of the player.
“Accordingly, a transfer fee of 100,000 euros will be paid to the football player’s former club. A contract has been signed with the football player until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
“Accordingly, our football player will be paid a net guarantee fee of 600,000 euros and a net signing fee of 150,000 euros for the 2023/2024 season.”
Aurier will become a free agent this summer unless he agrees a contract extension with the Super Lig side.
Galatasaray have also completed a loan deal for Fulham striker Carlos Vinicius.
The 28-year-old joins the club on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
An additional statement from Galatasaray, released just 10 minutes before Aurier’s announcement, read: “An agreement has been reached with professional football player Carlos Vinicius Alves Morais and his club Fulham Football Club Limited regarding the temporary transfer of the player for the 2023-2024 season.
