Newcastle United ‘table’ €40m offer for Galatasaray’s Wilfried Singo | OneFootball

Fanatik reports that Newcastle United have made an official approach to Galatasaray for Wilfried Singo, tabling a €40m offer to take the Ivorian to England.

Club representatives contacted the Turkish champions directly to gauge their stance on the 25-year-old. Singo joined from AS Monaco last summer and has become a mainstay under Okan Buruk across centre-back and right-back.

Galatasaray are in no rush to sell, and the fee would set a record for a Süper Lig defender. The hierarchy are taking a measured stance. Singo is contracted until 2030, which strengthens their hand.

Coaches consider him vital to domestic and European aims, so the board are reluctant to accept an initial offer without a replacement lined up. If a sale is agreed before the deadline, they plan to pursue a return for former favourite Sacha Boey.

Separately, management and coaching staff are set to meet Lucas Torreira face to face. The summit is expected to clarify lingering questions over his future in Istanbul and define his role for the coming season.
