The man who persuaded Mohamed Salah to move to Turkey explained to BBC Sport Africa how he pulled off the deal. Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan said he used the passion of the fans to sell the club to the Egyptian footballer.
Although the annual salary of €17 million certainly helped, Dogan insisted the signing is not just about money. The president explained how he executed what he described as a coup on the transfer market.
