Galatasaray have announced a new contract for Nigerian defender Oluwatosin Demehin, keeping the Super Falcons star in Istanbul beyond her first-year deal — www.isagoal.com reports.
The 23-year-old joined from Stade de Reims in 2024 and quickly became an essential part of the club’s backline.
She featured 26 times across league and European competitions, scoring once and standing out during Galatasaray’s maiden Women’s Champions League appearance.
Although the Turkish side struggled against Lyon, Roma, and Wolfsburg, her leadership in defense drew praise from both teammates and opponents.
“FX rate for international payments on your GTBank naira card today is N1,545,” the notice read, adding that the figure changes as the market moves.
Her reputation grew even bigger after she helped Nigeria win the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Demehin played every match of the tournament, scored against Zambia, and lifted Nigeria’s record 10th WAFCON title in a dramatic final over Morocco.
Her performances earned her national recognition, including the Order of the Niger award and gifts from the government.
Galatasaray acted swiftly to extend her stay as they aim to build a squad capable of competing for silverware at home and in Europe.
She follows Victor Osimhen as the second Nigerian to sign on with the Turkish champions this month, cementing Nigeria’s influence at the club.
