Salah Signs 2-Year Deal with Trabzonspor
Mohamed Salah has officially signed a two-year contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor following his departure from Liverpool. Thousands of fans gathered at Papara Park Stadium in Trabzon to welcome the 34-year-old Egyptian forward during his official unveiling. The supporters celebrated his arrival with red flares, creating a sea of color in the stadium.
Trabzonspor‘s president, Ertugrul Dogan, was present during the signing ceremony, which took place on August 6, 2026. Salah expressed his gratitude to the fans, stating, “I just want to thank everyone of you for being here today and yesterday. You showed me so much love, and I never expected that reception. I’m here to win.” The transfer is considered the biggest in Trabzonspor’s history, with the club reportedly fighting off interest from the Saudi Pro League, Major League Soccer, and Turkish powerhouses Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Besiktas.
The Egyptian forward established himself as a Premier League great during his nine-year spell at Liverpool, winning two league titles and the Champions League among eight major honors. He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for the Merseyside club and is regarded as one of its greatest players of all time. Salah’s move to Trabzonspor marks a new chapter in his career, and the Turkish club is eager to see him make an impact on the pitch.
This transfer is reminiscent of other high-profile moves in Turkish football, such as those seen in the past few seasons. The Turkish Süper Lig has been attracting top talent from around the world, and Trabzonspor’s signing of Mohamed Salah is a significant statement of intent from the club.
