  "account": "Mohamed Salah was mobbed by fans upon his arrival in Turkey as Turkish club Trabzonspor set to confirm his signing. Hundreds of fans gathered outside Ataturk Airport in Istanbul as Salah emerged wearing Trabzonspor colours and interacted with the enthusiastic crowd. The 34-year-old forward departed Liverpool at the end of last season after nine years, scoring 257 goals, and is now poised to play European football with Trabzonspor, who finished third in the league, eight points behind champions Galatasaray. Should Trabzonspor fail to qualify for the Europa League play-offs, they will be relegated to the Conference League. Salah, who has netted 50 Champions League goals, will assume the role of Trabzonspor's new number 10. He was previously Liverpool's highest earner, signing a £400,000-a-week deal in April 2025. Trabzonspor, based in northeastern Trabzon, have won seven league titles, six of which were secured between 1976 and 1984. Salah's transfer to Trabzonspor represents one of the biggest in Turkish football history, with the club aiming to reignite their fanbase and boost commercial appeal, particularly among the Middle Eastern market and the city's visitors.",
