Salah Eclipses Osimhen’s Turkish Lig Record, Joins Onuachu, Nwaiwu at Trabzonspor
Free agent Mohamed Salah who will be unveiled today at Trabzonspor has become the latest highest paid player in the Turkish Super Lig following his reported one-year net salary of €17 million after tax.
In addition, Salah is to receive 20% of the revenue generated from merchandise sales linked directly to his image, alongside other performance bonuses.
Until the arrival of the 34-year-old former Liverpool front man in Turkey, Nigerian Victor Osimhen was the highest paid star in the Super Lig, grossing a net salary of €15 million plus an extra €1 million in bonuses. Galatasaray paid €75 million for Osimhen in what remains a record purchase fee for a Süper Lig club, as well as the club’s third-most expensive sale of all time. All that will become history today when the Egyptian is unveiled at 5.30pm local time.
Interestingly, Salah will become the new teammate of Super Eagles stars Paul Onuachu and Chibuike Nwaiwu at Turkish team Trabzonspor.
