Club career

edit

Galatasaray

edit

He played his first match with Galatasaray on 4 December 2019, in the Tuzlaspor match in the Turkish Cup. Although Galatasaray lost 0–2, Bayram was admired for his performance. For the next few UEFA Champions League games, he waited in the booth.

He played his first league match with Galatasaray on 26 January 2020, away from Konyaspor. Bayram, who was included in the game in the extra time, ended the match before he could play much.

Bayram took to the field as the captain[1] of Galatasaray for the first time in his career in the match against Ankaragücü on the 12th of July 2020.

Boluspor (loan)

On 1 February 2021, Bayram signed a loan agreement with the TFF First League team Boluspor.[2][3] On 12 July 2021, Boluspor, one of the TFF First League teams, hired young defender Bayram from Galatasaray. Bayram, who was loaned to Boluspor at halftime last season, played 10 games in a red-white jersey. The 18-year-old player took the road to the Black Sea team again.[4]

Return to Galatasaray

edit

Bayram became the champion in the Süper Lig in the 2022–23 season with the Galatasaray team. Defeating Ankaragücü 4–1 away in the match played in the 36th week on 30 May 2023, Galatasaray secured the lead with 2 weeks before the end and won the 23rd championship in its history.[5]

Westerlo (loan)

On 6 September 2023, Bayram signed for Westerlo on a season-long loan.[6]

Westerlo
