For several days, Galatasaray has been looking for a right defender. While Sacha Boey left the Istanbul club to join Bayern Munich, Turkish leaders were busy finding a replacement for him. Several avenues leading to Ligue 1 having finally been abandoned, like that of Lorenz Assignon, Serge Aurier quickly became the priority target of the Turkish big name.
We can confirm that Serge Aurier has completed a permanent transfer to @GalatasaraySK.
