Mohamed Salah has completed a transfer to Turkish club Trabzonspor on a two-year contract worth 17 million euros per year.
The Egyptian forward moves to Turkey following his career at Liverpool in the Premier League, taking the number 10 jersey for his new team.
Salah chose the club based in Trabzon, which was led to a league championship title a few years ago by Tasos Bakasetas and Manolis Siopis.
Presentation at Papara Park
Trabzonspor President Ertugrul Dogan attended the official contract signing alongside Salah before the player met supporters.
More than 25,000 fans gathered at Papara Park to greet their new star and ask for the championship.
Salah walked around the pitch on a lap of honor while fans cheered him from the stands.
Stadium reception response
Speaking during his presentation, Salah said he did not remember ever seeing a welcome like the one he received at the stadium.
He added that he was very happy to be there and called the turnout of around 25,000 fans incredible.
