Official! Benfica star with 37 goals joins Galatasaray (Video) | OneFootball

Confirmed! Jéssica Silva is officially a new signing for Galatasaray. The 31-year-old Portugal international was unveiled by the Turkish club this Thursday, beginning a new chapter in her career after representing Al-Hilal last season.

The confirmation comes after several hints dropped by the Istanbul club on social media. Last Sunday, just a few hours after the forward announced her departure from the Saudi club, Galatasaray posted an image showing the silhouette of a player along with the message: "The silhouette says little. Talent says it all".

The post quickly sparked reactions among fans, who immediately pointed to Jéssica Silva. The Portuguese forward arrives in Turkey after a standout season with Al-Hilal, for whom she scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 23 matches.

Turkey will be the sixth country of the former Benfica player’s career. Before her spell in Saudi Arabia, Jéssica Silva played for clubs in Sweden, Spain, France and the United States, with the Champions League title she won with Lyon standing out.

Now, Jéssica Silva takes on a new challenge at Galatasaray, one of the most ambitious clubs in Turkish women’s football. In 2025/26, the team finished third in the Turkish League, four points behind Trabzonspor and 18 behind champions Fenerbahçe. The club were national champions in 2023/2024.
