According to Fabrizio Romano, the Turkish giants have agreed a deal to sign 20-year-old right-back Sacha Boey from French side Rennes. Sacha Boey is set to join Galatasaray on a four-year contract, until June 2025. The full-back will likely fly to Istanbul on Sunday, ahead of completing his move to Turkey.
