The inside story of how Trabzonspor pulled off Salah deal
Mohamed Salah was expected to move to Saudi Arabia or the United States after leaving Liverpool, but Turkish side Trabzonspor pulled off one of the coups of the transfer window.
Mohamed Salah has signed a two-year deal with Trabzonspor, the Turkish club in the Black Sea region. The Egyptian star had previously played for Liverpool for nine years, scoring 191 Premier League goals. Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan, a native of the city himself, was thrilled to secure Salah's signature. Dogan believes Trabzonspor is the biggest club in the world by club and city combined.
Salah was impressed by the genuine love displayed by Trabzonspor supporters and felt he had found a special place to further his career. The attention generated by this transfer cannot be easily quantified financially, but season ticket sales covered nearly 70% of Salah's salary for the year. Trabzonspor plans to continue attracting young talent while maintaining experienced players like Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana.
