Turkish Trabzonspor target Salah ahead of Wednesday arrival

Turkish Trabzonspor are hunting a proven goal‑scorer to fill the void left by departing attackers, and have set their sights on Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah. The club expects the 34‑year‑old to land in Istanbul on Wednesday, a move that could reshape their attacking options for the new season.

Trabzonspor have opened negotiations to sign Salah, who left Liverpool at the end of last season and is available on a free transfer. The player is slated to arrive in Istanbul on Wednesday later, finalising the free‑agent deal.

Salah’s résumé includes four Premier League Golden Boot awards, three PFA Player of the Year trophies and a tally of 257 goals with 120 assists in 442 matches for Liverpool, making him one of the most decorated forwards in recent English football.

The Club has a proud domestic record with seven league titles, six earned between 1976 and 1984 and the most recent in the Year 2022, ending a 38‑year drought.

Based in the north‑eastern city of Trabzon, the side are one of only six Turkish Super Lig champions, underscoring their historic status in Turkish football.

Salah also featured for Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, helping the side reach the last‑16 before a 3‑2 defeat to Argentina.

If the free‑agent deal materialises, Trabzonspor will gain a proven goal‑scorer for their upcoming campaign, while Salah will start a new chapter after a nine‑year spell in England.
