Mohamed Salah Joins Trabzonspor on £17M-a-Season Deal

Ankara: Turkish football club Trabzonspor confirmed on Thursday that it had signed Egyptian star Mohamed Salah on a deal guaranteeing him pound 17 million ($19.6 million) per season.

According to Anadolu Agency, Trabzonspor's publicly listed football subsidiary announced the agreement in a filing submitted to Borsa Istanbul and published through Trkiye's Public Disclosure Platform (KAP). Salah will receive an annual salary of pound 10 million and a signing payment of pound 7 million for each season.

The forward will also be eligible for conditional bonuses during each season, although the club did not disclose the value or performance criteria attached to them. A separate image-rights agreement will give Salah a 20% share of proceeds from products bearing his name and sold through Trabzonspor's retail company.

The club will additionally pay an agency fee equivalent to 5% of the player's gross remuneration. Trabzonspor announced earlier that it had opened transfer negotiations with Salah and shared a video showing him wearing the club's claret-and-blue No. 61 shirt aboard a plane.

'Trabzon, are you ready? I can hear you. See you very soon. Everywhere is Trabzon,' Salah said in the video, using a popular slogan associated with the Black Sea club. The agreement completes one of the most high-profile transfers in the history of the Turkish Super Lig.
