Galatasaray is reportedly making significant strides to sign Liverpool’s star Mohamed Salah, aiming to add another high-profile name to their squad.
After securing Victor Osimhen on loan, Galatasaray is now pushing for his permanent transfer despite Napoli’s $82 million asking price. While working through this financial hurdle, Galatasaray is also exploring funding options to present a competitive offer for Salah.
Reports indicate that Galatasaray has already initiated talks with Salah’s agent as they position themselves as a serious contender for the 32-year-old Egyptian winger.
With Salah’s contract at Liverpool ending this season and Saudi Arabian clubs showing interest, Galatasaray is prepared to offer a substantial deal to bring him to Istanbul.
Galatasaray plans to offer Salah $21.5M salary backed by sponsors
According to Turkish media, Galatasaray’s proposal for Salah includes an annual salary of $21.5 million, not counting a signing bonus. This package relies heavily on sponsor contributions, which will cover a large part of the cost.
To meet the remaining expenses, Galatasaray plans to transfer out a few high-salary players, creating financial room for Salah’s proposed deal.
Galatasaray is ready to make a major financial commitment, with most of the salary being handled by sponsors, while current players with higher wages may be moved to balance the club’s books, as reported by Turkish publication Sabah.
Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool career, impressive track record
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has become one of the most effective forwards in the game, achieving 220 goals and 98 assists in 365 appearances.
His accomplishments include Premier League and Champions League titles, and his departure would signify a major shift for Liverpool. Salah’s influence extends well beyond England, making him a valuable asset for Galatasaray’s ambitions.
Galatasaray’s pursuit of Salah would strengthen their squad and potentially attract international fans. Known for his playmaking ability, Salah would join a roster that’s eager to make an impact both in Türkiye and on the global stage.
With Salah, Galatasaray hopes to expand its reputation beyond Türkiye and compete at the highest levels.
