Galatasaray SK are reported to have reached an agreement with RB Leipzig regarding the loan of El Chadaille Bitshiabu (21), according to information from Sky Sport Deutschland.
A buy-out clause, the value of which has not been disclosed, has been included in the deal. Having travelled to Istanbul on Tuesday, the young centre-back is expected to undergo a medical there within the next 24 hours, before signing his contract.
At 21, Bitshiabu is set to give his career a new lease of life in the Turkish league, having made just 14 appearances – 11 of them in the Bundesliga – for the Saxon club last season.
A product of the Paris Saint-Germain academy, the former France Under-20 international moved to Germany in the summer of 2023, but struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular. During his most successful campaign with Leipzig, two years ago, Bitshiabu featured in 28 matches across all competitions, starting no fewer than 19 of them.
