Borussia Dortmund's Belgian fullback Thomas Meunier has joined Trabzonspor, the Turkish Super Lig side said on Wednesday.  

The 32-year-old will stay with the Black Sea Storms until the end of the 2024-25 season.

Meunier will be paid a salary of $918,000 (€850,000) for the 2023-24 season and $1.62 million (€1.5 million) for the 2024-25 season, along with a $540,000 (€500,000) signing-on fee.

He bagged the 2021 German Cup with Dortmund, and also helped French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain to bag three straight French Ligue 1 titles between 2019 and 2021. 

Meunier netted eight goals in 62 appearances for Belgium, and also bagged a FIFA World Cup bronze for his nation in 2018. 

"Dear fans! It is with great pleasure that I can finally announce my official commitment to Trabzonspor! Thanks to the club for taking the responsibility of trusting me, I'll be giving my all for the team, starting today," the Belgian said on X. "May this adventure become a memorable one!"
