Turkse transfer stunt: Salah heads to Trabzonspor in Turkey

Mohamed Salah is travelling to Turkije to finalise his transfer to Trabzonspor, as shown on the Turkish club’s social‑media channels. The 34‑year‑old Egyptenaar’s contract with Liverpool expired this summer, leaving him clubless until now.

Trabzonspor announced earlier that both parties were close to an agreement, indicating the club’s intent to secure the former Liverpool forward. The Turkish side aims to strengthen its attack for the upcoming Europa League play‑off round and to narrow the gap with domestic rivals Fenerbahçe and champions Galatasaray.

Interest in the Liverpool icon extended beyond Trabzonspor, with fellow Turkse clubs also monitoring the situation. Beşiktaş appeared near a deal earlier in the summer, but the move collapsed at the last minute, while clubs from Saudi Arabia and the United States also expressed a desire to sign him.

Transferexpert Fabrizio Romano reported that Salah is set to sign a multi‑year contract, specifically a two‑year deal, with Trabzonspor. This provides the Egyptenaar with a new professional home after his free‑agent status following the Liverpool exit.

For Trabzonspor, securing Salah represents a high‑profile acquisition that could boost their European ambitions and commercial appeal. The club will enter the Europa League play‑off round and needs just one two‑legged tie to reach the group stage.

The move gives Salah the opportunity to continue competing at a high level while offering Trabzonspor a marquee player to enhance their squad and profile across Turkey and Europe.
