The Hungarian player, who can use both feet, can play in any attacking position. Last season, he appeared in 37 matches for Freiburg, playing in six different positions.
On the last day of the summer transfer window, Galatasaray signed Roland Sallai from Freiburg. The Hungarian footballer arrived in Istanbul last night and signed a 4-year contract. In the announcement made to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), Galatasaray stated that Sallai’s club would be paid 6 million euros in four installments, and the player would receive 2.5 million euros per season in guaranteed wages. The 27-year-old player stands out with his courage, constantly seeking opportunities and trying things on the field. His confidence grows as he scores goals and provides assists.
SCORED OVER 100 GOALS IN A SINGLE SEASON WITH THE U13 TEAM
Coming from a footballing family, Sallai’s father Tibor won the Hungarian league with Vac in the mid-90s. His uncle Sandor was a highly successful and popular player in the 1980s, participating in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups. His other uncle Laszlo also played for many years in the lower leagues.

While playing for the Puskas Akademia U13 team, he scored over 100 goals in a single season. He was the youngest player called up to Hungary’s Euro 2016 squad. This breakthrough earned him a move to Serie A club Palermo, where he learned a lot about the tactical side of the game.

After Palermo’s relegation, he moved to Cypriot club APOEL, where he won the league title and played in the Champions League. He then transferred to German club Freiburg, where he continued to develop and became one of the key figures for the Hungarian national team, playing 54 matches. Alongside Szoboszlai, Sallai is one of the two key players driving Hungary’s attacking play. To stay mentally strong, he works with professionals and sports psychologists.
