Lesley Ugochukwu, whom Galatasaray loaned from Burnley at the beginning of the season, wants to leave the team in January due to not getting the playing time he expected in the yellow-red squad.

Joined the Squad on Loan

Galatasaray had added French midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, who played for Burnley at the start of the season, to its squad on loan with a conditional purchase option.

Struggled to Get Playing Time

Remaining in the shadow of Torreira and Lemina, the 22-year-old young footballer has only been able to feature in 6 matches so far under the yellow-red jersey.

Purchase Option is a Low Probability

The player, who needs to appear in 25 matches for the 26.5 million euro purchase option in his contract to be triggered, can reach a maximum of 19 matches even if he plays in all remaining games.

Ways Might Part in January

Following the player's departure request due to difficulties in finding playing time, the Galatasaray management has abandoned its decision to wait until the end of the season and plans to part ways in January.
