“Exciting challenge awaits”
As expected, Galatasaray has completed the signing of Eyüp Aydin from FC Bayern Munich. The 19-year-old signed a three-year contract with the Istanbul top club. Aydin was linked to numerous clubs such as Borussia Mönchengladbach, Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and Ajax Amsterdam during the transfer summer.
According to official information from Galatasaray, a transfer fee of 250,000 euros will go to FC Bayern, to whom Aydin was originally tied until 2024. The midfield talent will receive a net salary of around 240,000 euros in the first season, which will increase to 325,000 euros and finally 350,000 euros in the coming seasons.
With Adeyemi, Zirkzee & Co.: Most valuable professionals from the Bayern youth team
Aydin has been through all of Munich’s youth teams since 2017 and made the jump to the second representation in 2021. In the Bavarian Regional League, the left-footed player contributed four goals and ten assists in 54 games. Aydin had trained repeatedly with the record champions’ professionals last year, but since the prospect of regular playing time in the Bavarian star ensemble remained manageable, he is taking the next career step in Turkey.
“Eyüp has already played two full seasons with our amateurs and has repeatedly shown his talent. Now it’s time for him to take the step into professional football. An exciting challenge awaits him at Galatasaray, one of Turkey’s biggest clubs. We would like to thank Eyüp for his time on campus and wish him all the best for his future path,” said junior director Jochen Sauer.
