Salah Arrives in Istanbul to Finalize Trabzonspor Move

Mohamed Salah arrived in Istanbul on Wednesday to finalize his move to Turkish club Trabzonspor, with hundreds of fans greeting the Egyptian forward at Ataturk Airport. Trabzonspor announced negotiations a day earlier, and chairman Ertugrul Dogan said the 34-year-old, who left Liverpool at the end of last season, is expected to sign on a free transfer at a ceremony in Trabzon on Thursday. Salah, wearing Trabzonspor's burgundy and blue kit, waved at supporters and led a chant before heading for a medical check and a flight east.

He spent nine years at Liverpool, scoring 257 goals in 442 appearances, winning two Premier League titles and one Champions League. In the 2024-25 season, he scored 29 league goals with 18 assists, setting a record for goal involvements in a 38-game campaign and winning the Golden Boot, Playmaker Award, and Player of the Season. His output dipped last season with seven goals and seven assists in 27 league matches, and he had a public dispute with then-manager Arne Slot. Salah began his European career at Basel in 2012, later playing for Chelsea, Fiorentina, and Roma before joining Liverpool.
