Mohamed Salah Nears Trabzonspor Move as Turkish Club Opens Transfer Talks
Former Liverpool star is expected to undergo a medical after Trabzonspor confirmed negotiations for a deal that would become one of the biggest signings in Turkish football.
Mohamed Salah is set to begin a new chapter with Trabzonspor after leaving Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah is on the verge of joining Trabzonspor after the Turkish Super Lig club confirmed it has opened transfer negotiations with the Egyptian forward, who became a free agent following the end of his Liverpool career.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan said the club kept the negotiations confidential to avoid disrupting the transfer process. He described Salah as a world-class player and said the club believed his arrival would be a major boost. The club also teased the move with a social media video featuring an Egyptian pyramid and the message, “Always believing.”
Mohamed Salah is expected to arrive in Istanbul to complete his medical examination before travelling to Trabzon to finalise his contract. Multiple reports indicate the agreement will keep the 34-year-old at the club until 2028, although the final paperwork is still being completed. Trabzonspor has officially confirmed that negotiations are underway, but the transfer will become official only after the contract is signed and all formalities are completed.

Record Salary Reported
Media reports claim Salah will earn around €17 million net per season, making him the highest-paid player in Trabzonspor’s history.
Moreover, reports suggest the club has already produced around 100,000 jerseys bearing Salah’s name ahead of his anticipated arrival, highlighting the excitement surrounding the transfer.
End of a Historic Liverpool Career
Salah leaves Liverpool after a remarkable nine-year spell during which he established himself as one of the club’s greatest players.
He won multiple major honours, including the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, while scoring more than 250 goals and collecting numerous individual awards.
New Chapter in Turkey
Trabzonspor finished third in the Turkish Super Lig last season and will compete in the UEFA Europa League play-offs later this month.
Furthermore, the club hopes Salah’s arrival will strengthen its bid to challenge for domestic honours and make an impact in European competition.
