Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, has reunited with a young fan named Isaac Kearney, who has a rare genetic disorder called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Kearney, who made headlines in 2024 for singing Liverpool chants, was flown to Turkey by Trabzonspor to meet his hero. The club invited Kearney and his parents to the training ground, where Salah embraced the boy before introducing him to his new teammates.
Trabzonspor signed Salah on a free transfer earlier this month after nine successful years at Liverpool. The Turkish club, seven-time champions in the Super Lig, will face Ferencvaros in a Europa League play-off on Thursday, aiming to reverse their 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa in the season-opener. Salah, 34, is known for his prowess in the Uefa Champions League, having played 98 times for Basel, Roma, and Liverpool, and winning the competition in 2019.
His best performance in the Europa League was as a semi-finalist with Basel in 2013 and 2015. The club president, Ertugrul Dogan, praised Salah's impact, saying he has created a wonderful atmosphere among the players and the city of Trabzon.
