FC Porto officially announced the sale of player Deniz Gul to Galatasaray for a base value of 10 million euros. The deal also includes one million euros in variables, depending on objectives to be met by the player or the Turkish club.
Deniz Gul, 22 years old, thus leaves FC Porto after a spell at the Portuguese club. The Turkish attacking winger arrived at the Dragão with the expectation of establishing himself as one of the highlights of the Porto attack, but he could not consistently secure a place in the starting eleven.
Galatasaray, one of the big clubs of the Turkish league, thus secures the services of a young player with growth potential. The transfer represents a significant added value for FC Porto's finances, which receives a considerable fixed amount for a player who had not yet completed two years at the club.
This sale fits within FC Porto's strategy of investing in young talents and then profiting from their resale, a business model that the club has successfully applied in various transfers over the years.
