Turkey’s Trabzonspor says transfer talks with Salah under way
Mohamed Salah left Liverpool this summer after nine years, having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances, winning the Premier League twice and the Champions League once.
Trabzonspor, a leading football club in Turkey, has commenced transfer discussions with Mohamed Salah, according to the club's official statement. The Egyptian forward, currently a free agent, is in high demand and the club's chairman, Ertugrul Dogan, expressed optimism about securing the £200 million-rated player. Salah, who parted ways with Liverpool at the end of last season, is expected to undergo medical examinations in Istanbul on Wednesday before traveling to Trabzon to finalize the contract signing, likely on Thursday.
Notably, Salah's impressive career includes a record-breaking 38-goal, 18-assist season in the 2023-24 Premier League, and he has twice won the Premier League title with Liverpool. Despite a slight dip in form last season, Salah remains a sought-after talent, with Istanbul rivals Besiktas also vying for his signature, though negotiations reportedly stalled due to financial and image rights concerns.
