Galatasaray reject Spartak Moscow's bid for Ghanaian defender Derrick Kohn

Galatasaray have confirmed that FC Spartak Moscow has expressed interest in signing Ghanaian left-back Derrick Kohn.

The Russian club reportedly made an offer for the player, but it was turned down as it did not meet Kohn’s €2.5 million per season valuation.

Turkish media outlets reported that Galatasaray received the bid, which was subsequently rejected. The club’s sporting director, Cenk Ergün, confirmed the approach but noted that Kohn has shown no interest in considering the offer.

“There was a transfer request for Kohn, and we received an official offer. However, the player chose not to consider it. There are no new developments at the moment. We have one month left in the transfer window, and while there could be further offers or changes, there is no current process,” Ergün told Sporx.

Spartak Moscow are reportedly preparing a revised offer to secure Kohn’s services before the transfer window closes. However, they may need to meet Galatasaray's €6 million valuation of the player to finalize the deal.

Derrick Kohn, whose contract with Galatasaray runs until June 2026, has attracted attention for his performances, and while he has represented Germany at the U19 level, he remains eligible to play for Ghana at the international level due to his Ghanaian heritage.
