Indeed, Galatasaray's offer to sign Egyptian star Mohamed Salah seems ambitious, with a salary of 20 million euros per year, making it one of the highest in the history of the Turkish club. This offer exceeds the salaries proposed by major Saudi clubs such as Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Nasr, who were also looking to attract Salah.
Galatasaray's offer comes at a sensitive time for Salah's future, especially after his contract with Liverpool expires this season. The Turkish team relies on partial funding from sponsors to cover the cost, with plans to liquidate some players with high salaries, allowing them to bear the financial burden of a deal of this size.
Galatasaray's interest in Mohamed Salah reflects the Turkish clubs' efforts to attract international stars to enhance their reputation in the European arena, and competition with Saudi clubs with huge budgets raises the fans' ambitions to see bright names attract attention in Turkish stadiums.
