    Riera will earn a $10,000 fee per game whilst earning around $3m per year at Gala.



    Riera said: "I wish to thank the president and the Olympiakos board for finally accepting my desire to move to Galatasaray, as it was an excellent proposal for me and my family.



    "I believe that I showed the best of me in the year that I was with the team and I wish Olympiakos, my co-players and the fans all success.''
