Sérgio Oliveira arrives in Istanbul to complete Galatasaray move

Former Roma midfielder Sérgio Oliveira touched down in Istanbul early this evening to complete his move to Galatasaray, ending the possibility of a return to the Italian capital.

The 30 year-old’s private jet arrived just after 7PM local time in Turkey where he was greeted by a small contingent of supporters and media members.


He’ll undergo his medical examinations tomorrow morning to complete his transfer and seal a permanent exit from boyhood club Porto.

He’ll cost Gala a fee of €3 million in total and will sign a four-year contract worth nearly €2.5 million (net) per season.

Oliveira spent the second half of last season with Roma after joining the club on loan with an option to buy worth €13.5 million.

Roma ultimately declined to exercise the buyout clause and Oliveira returned to Porto once the season ended.
