The French forward Wissam Ben Yedder, who tried to resume his career in Iran after being convicted of sexual assault last year, signed this Monday with Sakaryaspor, from the Turkish Second Division.
The club did not give details about the operation, nor about Ben Yedder's new contract.
The former player of the French national team (2018-2022), 35 years old, was without a club since he left Monaco, in May 2024, until he signed with the Iranian Sepahan SC, in April of this year.
Accused of sexual assault, he was convicted in November 2024 to two years in prison, with a suspended sentence, a verdict against which he appealed.
Last week, Ben Yedder was also fined 90,000 euros (R$ 574,000 at the current rate) for psychological violence against his wife, from whom he is in the process of divorcing.
