Turkish club Trabzonspor is reportedly close to securing the signing of Mo Salah, the former Liverpool forward, according to recent statements from the team. Salah, 34, left Liverpool at the end of last season and is currently available on a free transfer.
Trabzonspor shared a cryptic message on social media featuring images of pyramids alongside the caption “Always believing” and a king emoji, hinting at the anticipated arrival of the Egyptian international. The club later confirmed that Salah is expected to land at Istanbul Ataturk Airport on Wednesday, with plans for him to travel to Trabzon later that evening. Trabzon is located in northeastern Turkey, approximately 656 miles from Istanbul.
Earlier reports indicated that Salah was close to joining Turkish side Besiktas, but negotiations fell through due to financial disagreements. With that option no longer viable, Trabzonspor moved quickly to secure the deal.
Salah enjoyed a highly successful career at Liverpool, where he established himself as one of the Premier League’s top scorers and a key figure in their 2019-2020 league title-winning campaign. His potential move to Trabzonspor marks a noteworthy development for the Turkish club, as they look to bolster their squad with a player of international stature.
No official announcement from either Trabzonspor or Salah’s representatives was made at the time of reporting, but the club’s social media activity and outlined travel schedule suggest a signing is imminent.
