Feb 5 (Reuters) - Galatasaray have signed midfielder
Mario Lemina from Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers for 2.5
million euros ($2.60 million), the two clubs said on Wednesday.
    The 31-year-old Lemina has signed a one-and-a-half year
contract with the Turkish side with an option for an additional
season.
    Lemina had not played for Wolves since January 6 after
falling out with manager Vitor Pereira.  
    He was stripped of the Wolves captaincy in December after an
altercation with West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen.  
    Under the terms of the agreement with Galatasaray, he will
earn 1.3 million euros for the remainder of the 2024-25 season
and 2.5 million euros a season after that, according to a
Galatasaray statement.
    Gabon international Lemina joined Wolves in 2023 from Nice
and spent two years at the Midlands club, making 77 appearances
and scoring six goals.
