Inter Milan submit €35m bid for Ivory Coast defender Wilfried Singo

Inter Milan have made a reported €35 million offer to Galatasaray for Ivory Coast international Wilfried Singo, with the Serie A club stepping up their pursuit of the defender following his impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to SkorX, the Italian side have formally approached Galatasaray in an attempt to secure the 25-year-old, whose reputation has grown significantly after a standout campaign with Ivory Coast on football’s biggest stage.

Negotiations between the two clubs are understood to be ongoing, although no agreement has yet been reached. Discussions continue as both sides seek common ground, with further developments expected in the coming days.

Singo’s displays during the World Cup have placed him among the most sought-after defenders in the current transfer window.

The Ivorian international impressed with his consistency, defensive strength and composure throughout the tournament, helping to raise his profile across Europe.

His ability to operate both as a central defender and on the right side of defence has made him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their back line.

That versatility has contributed to growing interest from several European teams, with Inter now emerging as one of the leading contenders for his signature.

The reported offer reflects Inter’s determination to bring the defender back to Italian football after his previous spell with Torino.

Since then, Singo has continued his development and is now under contract with Turkish champions Galatasaray until June 2030.

Although Inter have taken the first significant step with their reported €35 million proposal, the outcome of the negotiations remains uncertain.

Galatasaray are yet to indicate whether they are prepared to part with one of their key defenders, while interest from other clubs could further influence the direction of the transfer.

The coming weeks are expected to be decisive as discussions continue between the two clubs.

Singo’s future has become one of the talking points of the summer transfer window following his performances for the Elephants at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

His displays have strengthened his reputation as one of Africa’s leading defenders and increased speculation over a possible move away from Istanbul.

According to Transfermarkt, the Ivory Coast international currently has an estimated market value of €23 million.

Whether Inter’s reported offer will be enough to convince Galatasaray remains to be seen, but negotiations are continuing as the Serie A club attempts to secure one of its leading defensive targets before the transfer window closes.
