former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba from Chinese side
Shanghai Shenhua.
Drogba will sign his deal when the Ivory Coast's run at
the Africa Cup of Nations comes to an end - their next
game is a quarter-final in Rustenberg on Sunday.
The 34-year-old left Stamford Bridge last summer for
China in the wake of leading the Premier League club to
UEFA Champions League glory.
Drogba's signing is the second major deal Galatasaray
have completed in the January transfer window, having
brought Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder to the club
last week.
According to reports, Drogba will earn 10 million euros
over the 18-months of his contract with a 15,000 euro
bonus for each match he plays.
Drogba said, through his representatives Sports PR
Company, on Twitter: "The opportunity to play for this
great club was an offer that I could not turn down.
"I am looking forward to playing in the Champions
League again, against the best clubs in Europe."
