Trabzonspor unveiled Mohamed Salah as their new player in front of a thrilled crowd at Papara Park stadium on Thursday night. The club announced Salah's two-year contract with the Turkish Super Lig side earlier that day via their social media channels. Fans witnessed a laser show and a giant image of Salah projected around the stadium prior to his arrival.
Once Salah stepped onto the pitch, he greeted the adoring fans in Turkish and expressed his gratitude for their overwhelming reception. He emphasized his primary goal was to win with Trabzonspor, praising the club's support and thanking club president Ertugrul Dogan for making the move possible. The Egyptian forward then participated in a ceremonial contract signing and completed a lap of honor amidst the enthusiastic chants from the crowd.
The move comes as Salah leaves behind Liverpool, where he had spent nine years, scoring 257 goals in 442 appearances and winning two Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy. In the 2024-25 season, Salah scored 29 Premier League goals and provided 18 assists, setting new records for goal involvements in a single season.
Despite facing a public disagreement with Liverpool's manager during the previous season, Salah's transfer to Trabzonspor is a significant coup for the Black Sea club, which has been closing in on the country's traditional football powerhouses, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Besiktas.
