Muhammad Salah continues his career at Trabzonspor

After ending his successful spell at Liverpool and becoming a free agent, forward Muhammad Salah has agreed to sign a two-year contract with Turkish championship club Trabzonspor. According to Goal.com, the race for the 34-year-old Egyptian was intense during the summer transfer window, but he chose the Turkish Süper Lig after rejecting offers from Saudi Arabian clubs. Goal.com reports that.

Several Turkish giants had been competing for the experienced winger during the transfer window. Beşiktaş were initially viewed as the leading contenders, but the deal fell through because of financial restrictions and disagreements over wages. Trabzonspor then took the initiative and convinced the player to join their project.

Historic financial deal and arrival in Turkey

Trabzonspor actively used social media to keep its fans informed. According to an official statement, Muhammad Salah will arrive in Istanbul to complete negotiations and undergo a medical, before travelling to Trabzon that evening.

According to Turkish media reports, Trabzonspor have offered a salary of €17 million per year for the transfer. This huge financial package would make Muhammad Salah the highest-paid player in the history of Turkish football. The club aims to end the dominance of Istanbul clubs and win the 2022 championship again.

Familiar faces and ambitions at the new club

Muhammad Salah will be welcomed at Trabzonspor by several experienced players familiar from the Premier League and European football. The squad includes Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana and former Atlético de Madrid defender Stefan Savić, among other notable names.

Trabzonspor, who finished third in the Süper Lig last season, eight points behind champions Galatasaray, are planning to achieve even better results in the new campaign thanks to these additions. Salah’s experience is expected to significantly strengthen the team’s attack.
