Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek also published a warm welcome message for El Chadaille Bitshiabu. Özbek described the young defender as a 'young brother.' The president stated, "He is a young brother. I think he will serve for many years." He also wished Bitshiabu success at Galatasaray and a healthy, good season in the UEFA Champions League and the Trendyol Süper Lig.
These remarks signal the club's trust in the young talent and view him as a long-term investment. The president's support will play a key role in the player's adaptation and realising his potential. Incorporating young talents like Bitshiabu into the current squad is part of the club's future plans.
What is the team's current status?
Galatasaray has made a strong start to the season. Their recent three-match form is recorded as WWD (Win, Win, Draw). This form shows the team maintains its title challenge in the league. However, the squad is missing some players due to injuries. Currently, G. Guvenc and R. Leao are on the sidelines, a situation tracked on our injuries page.
Bitshiabu's arrival can be seen as a timely move, especially considering such absences in defence. The player, who will add depth to the backline, offers more options to the technical team. This positive atmosphere in the league will carry over to the team's next match.
When is the next fixture?
Galatasaray's next Süper Lig match is at home against Rizespor on 6 December 2026. Rizespor currently sits 7th in the table. Details of this important fixture can be found on our fixtures page. The period where Bitshiabu said he will meet the fans 'very soon' coincides with the team focusing on its league leadership battle and European adventure. The young defender is ready to contribute to his team during this demanding schedule.
