Cédric Bakambu signs with Galatasaray for the next two seasons
In another turbulent episode in his career, Congolese striker Cédric Bakambu has made the decision to leave Al Nassr barely a month after his arrival. Bakambu signed on Sunday with Turkish club Galatasaray, ending his brief adventure in the Middle East.
According to information from Footmercato.net, an agreement has been reached between Bakambu, Al-Nasr SC Limited and Galatasaray. A net transfer fee of €700,000 was paid to the player’s previous club. Bakambu signed a two-season contract starting from the 2023-2024 season, with a net salary of 1,500,000 euros per season.
This unexpected transfer raises questions about the difficulties of adaptation that Bakambu would have encountered at Al Nassr. According to the French media, the Congolese player would have had difficulty integrating into his new team and would have made the decision to join Turkey for a fresh start.
Galatasaray, a renowned club in Turkey, offers Bakambu another opportunity to relaunch his career. By joining such a prestigious team, the Congolese striker hopes to regain his form and his confidence to shine on the pitch.
The transfer comes at a crucial time for Bakambu, who also has international stakes with the Congolese national team. It therefore seems essential for him to find regular playing time and show his qualities in order to be able to represent his country in the next competitions.
For Galatasaray, the arrival of Cédric Bakambu strengthens their offensive sector and allows them to strengthen for the coming season. With his experience and his finishing qualities, Bakambu can potentially become a major asset for the Turkish team.
The transfer of Cédric Bakambu to Galatasaray marks a new stage in his tumultuous career. Hopefully this new chapter brings him the success and fulfillment he seeks on the football pitch
