Galatasaray has confirmed the 6.6 million euro ($7.5 million) capture of Borussia Dortmund winger Kevin Grosskreutz, despite fears the club had not beaten the transfer deadline to sign the Germany international.

Dortmund announced Tuesday that a deal was yet to be ratified by FIFA, despite the club's confidence that all criteria within the organization's Transfer Matching System (TMS) had been met. Confirmation has now gone through, however, with Galatasray confirming details of the purchase.

Grosskreutz has signed a three-year deal at the Turk Telekom Arena. A Gala statement said Grosskreutz passed his medical well in advance, with details submitted five minutes before Monday's midnight deadline — although errors within the FIFA system prevented the move from going through immediately.
