Galatasaray has approved the transfer of 23‑year‑old centre‑back Emin Bayram to RAMS Başakşehir, a move that will bolster the yellow‑red side's defensive line. Bayram, who has been wearing Westerlo's shirt since July 2024, is set to return to Turkey at the end of this season.

What are the main terms of the transfer?

According to the source, Galatasaray sold Bayram to Westerlo in 2024 for €4 million with a 50 % sell‑on clause. The club now permits the young defender to sign with a new Süper Lig side, keeping the option for a future return or a profit share in place.

How did Bayram perform at Westerlo?

During his two‑year spell, Bayram featured in 94 matches, logging 7 639 minutes, scoring six goals and providing four assists. He also contributed to ball distribution and defensive organization, proving his ability to add value at both ends of the pitch.

How does this fit Galatasaray's defensive plans?

The club aims to add a youthful alternative to its back line, especially after a recent run of LLWWW in the last five games, which included two defeats. Galatasaray currently sits 1st in the Süper Lig with 77 points (24 W‑5 D‑5 L) and suffered a 1‑0 loss to Kasımpaşa on 2026‑05‑17. Bayram’s arrival could help tighten the defence.

What lies ahead?

RAMS Başakşehir expects to finalize Bayram’s contract quickly. Galatasaray keeps an eye on a possible future comeback or the 50 % resale share. Fans are ready to monitor the young defender’s impact closely.
