Galatasaray Set to Part Ways with Lesley Ugochukwu

According to Takvim, Galatasaray has decided to part ways with Lesley Ugochukwu. The 20-year-old player appeared in 7 matches in the yellow-red shirt but could not produce a goal or an assist. Head coach Okan Buruk rarely picked Ugochukwu, who spent just 123 minutes on the pitch in total. The French player, who previously wore the shirts of Rennes, Chelsea, Southampton and Burnley, could not find the breakthrough he was looking for at Galatasaray.

The biggest obstacle for the management is financial. Ugochukwu's contract includes a compensation clause of about 2.5 million euros, and Galatasaray does not want to pay that amount. For this reason, a meeting with the player's agent is being planned in the near future. The club aims to find common ground for a mutual agreement and complete the departure that way.

During the winter transfer window, Galatasaray is working on both incoming and outgoing players. With Ugochukwu's exit, the club plans to free up a place in its foreign player quota. The club also wants to add a new reinforcement in midfield.
