The player aims to lead his new team to participate in the Europa League, especially after Trabzonspor plays the decisive playoff match, hoping to secure official qualification. This step represents a strong addition to the Turkish team, which relies on Salah’s experience and high skills.
According to the club’s official disclosure through the Turkish Public Disclosure Platform KAP, Mohamed Salah will receive an annual salary of 10 million euros, in addition to a signing bonus of 7 million euros. Thus, the total guaranteed amount Salah will receive reaches 17 million euros annually, making it one of the most expensive deals in the history of Turkish football.
The financial benefits for the Egyptian star are not limited to the annual salary and signing bonus; the contract also includes a clause granting him 20% of the revenues from the sales of products bearing his name. This clause will significantly increase Salah’s annual income and reflects the expected marketing scale due to the player’s great popularity in Turkey and the Arab world.
