Ghana defender Jerome Opoku seals permanent move to Istanbul Basaksehir

Following an impressive loan spell, Ghana defender Jerome Opoku has secured a permanent move to Istanbul Basaksehir.

Opoku has signed a three-year contract with the Turkish side, committing to the club until 2027.

The Black Stars defender joined Basaksehir on a season-long loan from Portuguese club Arouca during the last campaign, with an option to purchase. Istanbul Basaksehir has now exercised that option, tying down the Ghana international.

Opoku, 25, played a pivotal role in the recently concluded season, helping Basaksehir secure qualification for European competition next season. His rock-solid performances in defense earned him a reputation as one of the top defenders in the Turkish Super Lig.

The defender’s performances were rewarded with invitation to the Black Stars squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Mali and the Central African Republic in early June. Since making his debut in October 2023, Opoku has earned three caps for Ghana, scoring one goal.

Opoku’s permanent move to Istanbul Basaksehir marks a significant step in his career, and the club is looking forward to his continued impact in their upcoming campaigns.
