Czech international striker Milan Baros has signed a three-year deal with Turkish champions Galatasaray, according to the club.

“All the signatures are on the contract, there is no problem,” senior club official Haldun Ustunel confirmed.

The 27-year-old was loaned in January by French champions Lyon to English side Portsmouth.

Baros subsequently returned to France but has not featured in Lyon coach Claude Puel’s plans since the beginning of the season.

He previously played for English club Aston Villa as well as Liverpool from 2001 to 2006 after starting his career at Czech outfit Banik Ostrava.
