Sallai officially moves to Galatasaray
On the last day of the Turkish transfer window, Galatasaray have confirmed the signing of Roland Sallai from SC Freiburg.
“The team has constantly developed in recent years and Roland was an important part of that,” said Freiburg board member for sport Jochen Saier.
“Roland has flirted with the idea of leaving the club on a number of occasions in the past. Due to his contractual situation and the current structure of our squad, we weighed things up and agreed to the transfer. We would like to thank Roland for his commitment across six eventful years and wish him all the best in Istanbul," he added.
Sallai, who spent a total of six years at Freiburg, commented:
“I had a great time in Freiburg. We were successful in the Bundesliga, reached a DFB-Pokal final in Berlin and played in Europe. I developed into a regular for my national team here and I would like to say thanks. I’ll always remember my spell at Freiburg as one that shaped my career.”
The attacking midfielder made a total of 163 appearances for the Bresigau club, racking up 27 goals and 23 assists.
