Born in 1997, Celik arrives in Turin with a wealth of experience gained, most recently, in France and Italy. After distinguishing himself in his home country until 2018, he spent four seasons at Lille, where he helped the club win a French league title and a French Super Cup, standing out for his consistency and reliability.

His career continued in 2022 with a move to Roma, a spell that allowed him to test himself against the pace of Serie A, whilst consolidating his role as a key player for the Turkish national team, for whom he has also been captain.
