FC Porto confirmed the definitive sale of Turkish forward Deniz Gül to Galatasaray. The player, 22 years old, leaves the Portuguese club to return to his country of origin.
The transfer was made for a base value of €10 million, plus €1 million in bonuses. The deal represents a significant capital gain for FC Porto.
Deniz Gül failed to establish himself as a starter in Porto's attack since arriving at the club. His spell with the first team did not meet the expectations created when he was signed.
With this sale, FC Porto frees up salary bill space and reinvests the funds received in strengthening the squad for the competitions that remain in the season.
