Inter step up pursuit of Galatasaray defender Wilfried Singo with €35m bid

Inter Milan have intensified their summer transfer plans by submitting a formal €35m offer to Galatasaray for Ivory Coast international Wilfried Singo, according to Turkish outlet @SkorXTR.

The bid, which has been officially lodged with the Turkish champions, is aimed at strengthening Inter’s right flank ahead of the new season. Talks between the two clubs are described as active and ongoing as they work towards a potential agreement.

Galatasaray are yet to deliver a definitive response to the proposal, leaving the deal finely poised as negotiations continue between the respective hierarchies.

Inter target Singo’s versatility and power

Inter’s interest in Singo is understood to centre on his ability to operate in multiple roles on the right side of the pitch, combined with his physical strength. The 23-year-old defender, a full international with the Ivory Coast – nicknamed “Les Elephants” – has built a reputation as a powerful, athletic presence capable of contributing in both defensive and attacking phases.

The Nerazzurri view those attributes as a strong fit for their system, and are keen to move swiftly to close the deal if common ground can be found with Galatasaray on the fee and structure of the transfer.

Club officials at Inter are hopeful that a quick resolution is possible, but accept that the final decision now rests with their Turkish counterparts, who are weighing up the proposal and its implications for their own squad planning.

Negotiations remain active

While the €35m offer represents a clear statement of intent from Inter, sources close to the talks suggest that details over payment terms and potential add-ons could yet form part of the discussions as both clubs seek a definitive outcome.

For now, the Italian club’s priority is to secure an agreement that would bring Singo to Serie A, with his profile seen as aligning with Inter’s broader strategy of adding dynamic, physically robust players capable of adapting to different tactical demands.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, face a significant decision over whether to cash in on a key defensive asset or hold firm in the expectation that Singo’s value could rise further.

No timeline has been publicly set for a conclusion to the negotiations, but with Inter eager to strengthen their squad, both clubs are under pressure to clarify Singo’s future as the transfer window progresses.
