Mohamed Salah expected to sign with Turkiye side Trabzonspor

Turkish top-tier side Trabzonspor said they have begun ⁠transfer negotiations with ⁠Mohamed Salah, with the club chairman adding they hoped to sign the Egyptian forward later this week.

“Negotiations have been launched to transfer professional footballer ⁠Mohamed Salah, who is in a free status, to our club,” the club said in a statement on Turkiye’s public disclosure platform.

Speaking to broadcaster A Spor shortly after ⁠the statement, Trabzonspor Chairman Ertugrul Dogan said that while the transfer was not yet complete, Salah was expected to arrive in Istanbul for medical checks on Wednesday and then head to Trabzon to sign with the Black Sea side.

He did not say when the contract ‌would be signed, but said it would likely be on Thursday.

Salah left Liverpool this summer after nine years, having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances, during which he won the English Premier League twice and the UEFA Champions League once.

In the 2024-25 season, Salah scored 29 Premier League goals and provided 18 assists, equalling the league record for most goal involvements in a single season and setting the record for a ⁠38-game campaign.

He was named Premier League Player of the Season ⁠and won the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award, becoming the first player to take all three in one campaign.

Trabzonspor, generally considered to be the fourth biggest team in Turkiye after ‌Istanbul sides Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas, finished third in the Super Lig last season and will enter the Europa League playoff round.
