Mohamed Salah Set To Become Turkish Football's Highest-Paid Player With €17m Salary, Surpassing Victor Osimhen
Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah arrived Istanbul on Wednesday perfectly welcomed. Salah will become the highest-paid player in Turkish football after agreeing to a lucrative contract reportedly worth €17 million net per season.
The deal, which is expected to see Salah complete his move to Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor, will place him ahead of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, whose current contract with Galatasaray is reportedly worth €15 million net annually.
According to several international reports, Salah's salary will make him the top earner in the Turkish league. Reports have also suggested that the former Liverpool forward could receive a share of the revenue generated from merchandise bearing his name and image.
However, while some outlets have claimed Salah will earn 25% of merchandise sales linked to his image, that specific figure has not been officially confirmed by the club or the player. Contract details regarding image rights and commercial bonuses remain undisclosed.
If finalized, Salah's move would rank among the biggest transfers in Turkish football history, underlining the league's growing ambition to attract some of the world's biggest football stars.
The 34-year-old Egyptian enjoyed a glittering spell in English football, winning numerous domestic and international trophies while establishing himself as one of Africa's greatest-ever players. His expected arrival in Turkey is already generating excitement among fans and is likely to boost the global profile of the Turkish Süper Lig.
An official announcement from Trabzonspor is expected once all contractual formalities are completed..
