Mohamed Salah completes move to Turkish side Trabzonspor
The former Liverpool forward was a free agent after leaving Anfield this summer following nine years at the club
Mohamed Salah has officially joined Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor, signing a two-year contract following an enthusiastic fanfare at Ataturk Airport. Trabzonspor announced on Tuesday that the 34-year-old will travel to Trabzon by train to finalize his transfer. The veteran, who left Liverpool last summer after nine seasons, scored 257 goals in 442 matches for the Reds and claimed two Premier League titles and the Champions League during his tenure.
Salah attracted interest from multiple clubs this summer and received an offer from Trabzonspor's league rivals Besiktas. The signing marks a significant achievement for Trabzonspor, who last won the Turkish league title in 2022—their most recent of seven titles, with the other six earned between 1976 and 1984. Last season, Trabzonspor finished third, eight points behind champions Galatasaray, and now face a play-off to secure their place in the league phase of the Europa League. Failure to win the play-off will see them relegated to the Conference League.
