The absence of Ismail Jakobs in the group to face Lens did not leave much doubt about a departure. After the match, AS Monaco general manager Thiago Scuro confirmed to the press that the 25-year-old left-back, under contract until 2026, would indeed fly to Galatasaray. The Senegalese would be the subject of a paid loan of one million euros with an option to buy of 7.5 million which would be equivalent to an obligation to buy.
« We only make things official when they are finished and signed. Jakobs is supposed to go to Galatasaray to have his medical and complete the final administrative procedures. It is possible that we will make it official in the next few days. I don’t know if he is [déjà en Turquie] but we allowed it yesterday (Saturday) when the details were settled between the two clubs. »
Having arrived at the club in the summer of 2021, Ismail Jakobs has regularly had to settle for a role as understudy to Caio Henrique. However, he was able to earn his stripes as a starter with the Brazilian’s serious knee injury last season. This season, he was started by Adi Hütter for the first two league games.
