Liverpool Open Talks for Galatasaray’s Wilfried Singo in Planned January Bid

Liverpool are weighing a structured January bid below Wilfried Singo’s release clause.

Overview

  • Recent Turkish reports relayed by Sports Witness and Yahoo state initial negotiations have taken place for the defender.
  • Liverpool are said to be preparing an offer of about €28m plus €10–15m in bonuses, a possible €38–43m package below a reported €60m clause in a contract running to 2030.
  • Galatasaray are not obliged to sell due to the long deal, so any agreement would likely rely on the structure being acceptable to the Turkish club.
  • Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa have also been linked, with scouts reported to have watched Galatasaray’s Champions League match against Ajax.
  • Singo, a 24-year-old Ivory Coast international who plays right-back or centre-back, is viewed as a potential fix for Liverpool’s leaky defense and injury issues, including Giovanni Leoni’s season-ending knee problem.
