Liverpool Reportedly Open Talks for Galatasaray Defender Wilfried Singo

Unconfirmed Turkish reports relayed by Sport Witness say the club has begun initial negotiations in response to persistent defensive problems.

Overview

  • Turkish outlets, as summarized by Football Talk, claim Liverpool have started discussions to sign Wilfried Singo from Galatasaray.
  • Reports say a bid of about £37m is being readied, structured as £24m guaranteed with £13m in bonuses.
  • Singo is said to have a release clause near £52m and a contract that runs until 2030.
  • Liverpool’s interest is framed as a response to a leaky defence that has conceded 38 goals in 23 matches, with Giovanni Leoni out for the season and key defenders underperforming.
  • The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international is a 6ft 3in defender who can play centre-back or right-back and has moved from AS Denguele to Torino, then AS Monaco, before joining Galatasaray this season.
