He said, “I honestly can’t even remember if I’ve seen something like this before. I’m very happy to be here. There are like 25,000 fans here to welcome me. It’s unbelievable.”

Salah is said to have signed a two-year deal with the Turkish club, worth a €17 million annual salary, including additional incentives and benefits.
