Manchester City midfielder Gundoan joined Galatasaray without a sign-off. He came to Türkiye and accepted an interview with the media.

"Salary for Galatasaray was my childhood dream. I dreamed of wearing this jersey, and today it finally came true. The joy at this moment was beyond words, and our whole family was very happy and proud. Although I received offers from other clubs, I was not moved. Galatasaray started contacting me at the end of May and early June, and had to wait for a while. At that time, the transfer between Osmeon and Sane was also in progress. Sane and I were good friends, and we talked two weeks ago. We cooperated on the court. "

"Two days ago, I had a conversation with head coach Brooke, and everything went smoothly afterwards. I couldn't wait to meet him. I went home and became a member of the Galatasaray family. "
