Christ Inao Oulai: Fiorentina midfielder linked with Galatasaray move

Ivory Coast midfielder Christ Inao Oulai is being linked with a move from Fiorentina to Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray.

The 20-year-old central midfielder joined Fiorentina from Trabzonspor on 19 July 2026 in a deal worth €26m. His market value is currently listed at €28m, placing the player among the club’s significant recent investments.

Oulai has made seven Serie A appearances this season, playing 305 minutes without scoring or providing an assist. He has also featured twice in the Italy Cup, starting one of those matches.

The midfielder spent the previous campaign at Trabzonspor, where he won the Turkish Cup, after joining the Turkish club from French side SC Bastia in August 2025. He moved to Bastia from JMG Abidjan in July 2024.

Oulai has also appeared in all four of Ivory Coast’s matches at the 2026 World Cup, starting two and playing 58% of the available minutes. He has not registered a goal or assist in the competition.

Fiorentina signed Oulai less than four months ago, and the reported link with Galatasaray comes during his first season in Serie A. He remains a Fiorentina player, with the Italian club yet to confirm any agreement over a move.
