Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen remains the highest-paid footballer in Turkey despite Mohamed Salah’s blockbuster move to Trabzonspor.
Although Salah’s transfer from Liverpool comes with a net salary of €17 million per season, Osimhen’s overall guaranteed earnings at Galatasaray remain significantly higher.
That leaves Osimhen earning €4 million more per season than Salah’s fixed salary despite the Egyptian’s higher base wage.
For Salah to overtake Osimhen’s guaranteed annual earnings, that commercial clause would need to generate more than €20 million every season from merchandise sales alone.
Unless Salah’s arrival generates unprecedented merchandise sales, Osimhen is expected to retain his status as Turkey’s highest-paid footballer overall, even though the Egyptian now receives the higher guaranteed base salary.
