Trabzonspor is on the verge of securing former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah on a two‑year contract, signing the player as a free agent after his departure from the English club.
The Turkish side seeks to reinforce its attack following a third‑place finish in the Süper Lig and as it prepares for a Europa League play‑off campaign.
Adding Salah would bring elite finishing ability, on‑field leadership, and significant commercial interest, marking a shift from the club’s previously measured transfer activity.
Club chairman Ertuğrul Doğan confirmed that an agreement exists but the transfer remains pending completion of medical examinations and the signing of official documents.
Salah is expected to provide a decisive striker capable of influencing tight matches, delivering consistent performance from the right flank, and handling the pressure of a serious title challenge.
Earlier talks with another Turkish club collapsed over disagreements on financial terms and image rights, while interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer also emerged.
The successful negotiation underscores the appeal of Trabzonspor’s sporting project and its ambition to remain competitive in European competition.
Although no longer at his absolute peak, Salah’s goal‑scoring record, experience, and winning mentality are projected to enhance the team’s prospects against domestic rivals.
