Wilfried Singo’s future remains unresolved as the Ivorian defender edges closer to a potential move away from AS Monaco, with Galatasaray currently leading the chase for his signature.
The 24-year-old, who initially turned down interest from the Turkish champions earlier in the summer, is now reportedly open to the switch.
According to L’Équipe, Monaco are encouraging an exit, although they continue to demand €40m for his release.
With the transfer window nearing its close and limited options available, Singo is said to be reconsidering Galatasaray’s offer.
Foot Mercato reports that the Istanbul club has already tabled a bid and is in active discussions with Monaco over the deal.
While Galatasaray are seen as frontrunners, the situation remains fluid, with Borussia Dortmund and several Premier League sides monitoring developments closely.
Olympique de Marseille have also emerged as a possible destination.
The Ligue 1 club are understood to be evaluating Singo as an alternative to Joel Ordoñez of Club Bruges, though the chances of a deal remain slim given Monaco’s high valuation.
For now, Galatasaray appear best positioned to secure the Grand-Béréby-born player.
With the Turkish transfer window still open longer than some European leagues, the coming days could prove decisive in shaping Singo’s next move.
Singo, who joined Monaco from Torino, remains under contract at the Principality until June 2028.
He currently earns an annual salary of €1.84m (approximately 1.2 billion FCFA), while his market value is listed at €25m by Transfermarkt.
Despite Monaco’s €40m demand, the club’s willingness to sanction a departure suggests a compromise could yet be reached.
The Ivorian international has built a reputation as a powerful and versatile defender, capable of operating both centrally and at right-back.
His physical presence, defensive reading, and ability to contribute offensively have made him an attractive target for clubs across Europe.
As speculation intensifies, Monaco are preparing for their upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Lille, though it remains uncertain whether Singo will feature amid the uncertainty over his future.
With Galatasaray pushing to finalise an agreement and rival clubs weighing late moves, the saga surrounding Singo’s next destination is set to dominate the final days of the transfer window.
His decision, when it comes, could mark one of the window’s defining moves.
