Mohamed Salah has officially signed with Turkey’s Trabzonspor on a two-year deal after weeks of uncertainty following his Liverpool exit, The Athletic reported. He will wear the No. 10 shirt and was mobbed by fans in Istanbul before heading to Trabzon.
Details:
- Rejected offers: Salah turned down interest from Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and MLS’s Sporting Kansas City, The Athletic reported, and had previously confirmed past contact with Saudi clubs
- Salary: Salah will reportedly earn about €17 million a year, plus a €5 million bonus and a cut of shirt sales
- Denial then reversal: Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan denied any agreement with Salah just before the deal was finalized within hours
- Financing: The club is funding the deal through sponsorships with Turkish Airlines and EV maker Togg, both tied to the Turkish government
What to Watch:
Salah debuts with Trabzonspor in the Europa League play-off round after the club advanced, as fans wait to see whether he can recapture the form that produced 29 goals last season at Liverpool.
