Salvatore Sirigu to leave OGC Nice without having played a single minute | OneFootball

Salvatore Sirigu (37) is set to leave OGC Nice without having played a single minute for the club. According to Nice-Matin, the former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper is set for a move to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük.

Marcin Bulka was handed the No.1 jersey at Nice this season, and his promotion led to Kasper Schmeichel leaving the club as a free agent on transfer deadline day in the summer. As a result, the club were in the market for a No.2 that wasn’t necessarily meant to challenge Bulka but to replace the Polish shot-stopper in the event of injury and suspension.

Sirigu was therefore brought in on a free transfer in September following the expiry of the Italian’s contract at Fiorentina. However, since making the move, he has not played a single minute. Upon signing his contract, it was agreed that Nice would let Sirigu leave the club, should an offer come in that would allow him to feature more prominently.

That has now happened and Le Gym have kept their word. Sirigu is set to undergo a medical with  Fatih Karagümrük on Tuesday ahead of completing a move to the Turkish side.
