Turkish club Galatasaray says it has signed Spanish winger Albert Riera from Olympiakos on a four-year deal worth ?3 million ($4.3 million).

Galatasaray says on its website the 29-year-old will be paid ?2.7 million ($3.8 million) for the first year, ?2.9 million ($4.1 million) for the second year and ?3 million ($4.3 million) for each of the next two years, with an additional ?7,500 ($10,650) fee per game.

The eight-time Spain international moved to Olympiakos from Liverpool last summer.

Galatasaray finished in eighth place last season, its worst result in years. The Istanbul-based club made major signings this summer, including Ivory Coast international Emmanuel Eboue, Uruguay's Fernando Muslera and Felipe Melo of Brazil.
