On 21 July 2022, Dubois signed with Süper Lig club Galatasaray for a reported €3M.[9] [10] Dubois 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.[11]
On 31 August 2024, it was announced that the contract between Galatasaray and Dubois was mutually terminated.[12]
