Salah given hero's welcome before Trabzonspor move
Turkish club Trabzonspor are set to confirm the signing of Egypt captain and former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.
Trabzonspor are preparing to officially announce the signing of Mohamed Salah as the player emerged enthusiastically to greet hundreds of fans outside Istanbul's Ataturk Airport. The 34-year-old Egypt captain left Liverpool after nine years, netting 257 goals during his tenure. Trabzonspor, currently third in the Super Lig, will compete in the Europa League Conference League should they not qualify for the main tournament.
Salah's arrival is a significant move for Trabzonspor, who previously relied on nurturing young talent for success. Known as the Black Sea Storm, the club has won seven league titles, six between 1976 and 1984, and most recently in 2022. Salah's signing, coupled with the presence of on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, aims to reignite Trabzonspor's fanbase and boost commercial potential, particularly in the Middle East.
