Musah Mohammed’s Price Rises Despite Club Crisis

Despite a challenging season for newcomers Bodrum F.K. in the Turkish Super League, some players are actively seizing opportunities to make a name for themselves. One such player is young midfielder Musah Mohammed, whose salary has increased following a contract renewal. While fighting to help his club escape the relegation zone, he is also attracting interest from Turkish giants and the national team.

Musah Mohammed’s Salary at Bodrum F.K.

The Ghanaian midfielder joined Bodrum F.K. in the summer of 2022. Following the club’s promotion to the Super League, he renewed his contract, which now runs until June 30, 2028. Over this four-year deal, he is set to earn €600,000, excluding bonuses. For the 2024/25 season, his salary will be €150,000, which translates to approximately €2,885 per week.

Team Salary Overview: Among the Highest-Paid Players Under 23

In the 2024/2025 season, Bodrum F.K.’s total salary expenditure stands at €9,950,000 per year, or €191,346 per week. The highest-paid players on the team are forward George Pușcaș and midfielder Enis Bardhi, both earning €1,670,000 per year (approximately €32,115 per week).

Currently, Musah Mohammed ranks 16th in the club’s salary hierarchy, sharing this position with two other players. Among foreign players, he has the sixth-highest salary at the club. Additionally, he is the third highest-paid African footballer at Bodrum F.K., with his compatriot Haqi Osman earning 1.5 times less. Notably, Mohammed is also the second highest-paid player under 23 at the club, with Mustafa Erdilman earning significantly less.

Career Salary Comparison

Since joining Bodrum F.K., Mohammed’s salary has increased by approximately €10,000. After the club secured promotion to the top tier, his contract renewal resulted in a 2.5x salary increase, marking the highest earnings of his career thus far.

Market Value: Steady Growth Since Joining Bodrum F.K.

Despite a less successful loan spell at Eyüpspor, Mohammed’s transfer value has surged by 1.5 times. During his first season at Bodrum F.K., he enjoyed regular playing time, which led to a 5.5-fold increase in his transfer value.

The 2023/24 season was particularly successful, as he emerged as a key player, scored two goals, and played a crucial role in helping the club maintain its Super League status. Following this success, his market value nearly doubled.

Although Bodrum F.K. is struggling in the league, Mohammed’s valuation has increased by almost 1.5 times, reaching a peak of €1 million, making him the fifth most valuable player at the club, according to Transfermarkt.

National Team Aspirations

Despite spending much of his career in Turkey’s second division, Musah Mohammed has yet to receive a call-up to the Ghanaian national team.

Future Prospects

As Bodrum F.K. prepares for the 2024/25 season, Musah Mohammed remains a key asset for the club. He has only missed matches due to suspensions and a minor injury sustained in mid-February.

His contributions in goal-scoring and overall play have been vital in securing crucial points. If he can help Bodrum F.K. retain its Super League status, there is a strong possibility of either a new contract with improved terms or interest from stronger teams.
