Galatasaray has announced the signing of Juan Mata for one season.
The 34-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Manchester United at the end of last season and is now ready to start a new challenge in Turkey.
The Spaniard has signed a one-year contract with the Turkish club but there is an option for an additional year, reports Fabrizio Romano.
Mata will earn around 1.9 million euros for his year at the club, very low for a player of his stature. The midfielder earned £8.3m at Man United last season, for example, and while the 34-year-old is entering a new phase of his career, that figure is still quite low.

Mata spent the last 11 years in the Premier League with both Chelsea and Manchester United, with La Liga being the only other league the midfielder has competed in.
The Spaniard played 278 times in the English first division, where he scored 52 goals and assisted another 54.
