ISTANBUL: Brazilian midfielder Fabinho signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor on Monday, the Turkish club announced, where his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah has made an impressive start.

Ex-Liverpool star Fabinho reunited with Salah at Trabzonspor

Monaco's 2017 French league title was largely due to the efforts of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho, who then moved to Liverpool the following year. Trabzonspor announced on Monday that they had signed the 32-year-old free agent from Saudi club Al-Ittihad. The Turkish club revealed that Fabinho would be earning €4 million (US$4.66 million) annually, significantly less than the €17 million Trabzonspor will pay his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.

Upon joining Liverpool, Fabinho played a pivotal role in the team's success, contributing to their Champions League victory in 2019, Premier League triumph in 2020, and FA Cup win in 2022 as part of Jurgen Klopp's squad. Meanwhile, Salah, who was enthusiastically received by Trabzon fans in August, scored twice in his debut Turkish league match on Sunday.

Trabzonspor finished third in the Turkish top division last season and will face Hungary's Ferencvaros in the second leg of their Europa League playoff tie on Thursday, trailing 1-0.
