Malian international winger Aly Mallé has officially completed his move to Turkish second-division side Iğdir FK on a one-and-a-half-year deal.
The 26-year-old’s transfer follows a stellar first half of the season with Şanlıurfaspor, where he impressed with five goals and seven assists in 15 appearances, making him one of the standout performers in the Turkish 1. Lig.
Mallé’s exceptional form in the 2024/25 season saw him become the best assist provider in the league, drawing attention from several clubs.
Despite the competition, Iğdir FK emerged as the winning bidder for his services, completing the deal for the versatile winger.
The move marks a return to Turkish football for Mallé, who previously played with Otelul Galati in Romania, where he also enjoyed a productive spell.
Following his time in Romania, Mallé’s return to Turkey with Şanlıurfaspor saw him play a key role, further boosting his reputation in the country.
His ability to influence matches and create opportunities for his teammates was pivotal in the team’s success.
Iğdir FK, who are pushing for promotion to Turkey’s top-flight Super Lig, have added Mallé to their ranks in hopes of bolstering their squad and increasing their chances of securing a top spot in the second division.
The club’s swift action to meet Şanlıurfaspor’s asking price for Mallé demonstrates their commitment to strengthening their team and their ambitions for the future.
In an official statement, Iğdir FK expressed their delight in securing Mallé’s signature: “We are pleased to announce the arrival of Aly Mallé.
The talented winger joins our team on a one-and-a-half-year contract.
This transfer marks a new chapter in Mallé’s career as he looks to continue his rise in Turkish football.
With his track record of delivering key contributions on the field, Iğdir FK will be hoping that Mallé’s impact will play a vital role in their pursuit of promotion to the Super Lig.
The winger will be expected to bring his flair, creativity, and experience to a club eager to make its mark in Turkey’s top tier.
