Mohamed Salah has officially joined Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor on a two-year contract after leaving Liverpool as a free agent at the end of last season.
The Egyptian forward, who brought an end to his successful nine-year stay at Anfield this summer, begins a fresh chapter in Turkey in what is regarded as one of the biggest signings in Trabzonspor’s history.
During his time with Liverpool, Salah established himself as one of the club’s greatest players, scoring hundreds of goals while helping the Reds secure major trophies, including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
His arrival has sparked excitement among Trabzonspor supporters, who believe the 34-year-old will provide valuable experience, leadership and attacking quality as the club pursues success in domestic and European competitions.
According to Sky Sports News on Thursday, “Mohamed Salah has now signed his two-year contract with Trabzonspor. The former Liverpool winger signs on a free transfer after he departed Anfield earlier this summer.”
The transfer brings an end to months of uncertainty surrounding Salah’s next destination following his departure from Liverpool, while handing Trabzonspor one of the most high-profile acquisitions ever seen in Turkish football.
It was gathered that hundreds of fans gathered in Istanbul to welcome the Egyptian star ahead of the completion of his move to the Turkish club.
