ISTANBUL, Aug 5: Turkish club Trabzonspor officially announced the arrival of Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah, completing one of the biggest deals in Turkish football.

In a video shared on the club’s official platforms, Salah appeared in Trabzonspor’s dark blue jersey for the first time and delivered his opening message to the club’s supporters: “Trabzon is everywhere for us!”

The club had earlier confirmed that it reached an agreement with the Egypt captain to join the squad on a two-year contract, reportedly worth €17 million per season, excluding bonuses and additional incentives.

Trabzonspor said Salah would arrive in Istanbul on Wednesday to finalize the transfer formalities and undergo medical examinations before his official presentation to the fans.

The 34-year-old forward joins the Turkish club as a free agent after ending his successful nine-year career at Liverpool, where he established himself as one of the world’s leading attacking players.

Salah received a massive welcome upon his arrival in Istanbul, with thousands of supporters gathering at Atatürk Airport to celebrate the signing. Fans waved flags, raised banners, and chanted in support of their new star, while local and international media closely followed the event.

The Egyptian captain acknowledged the enthusiastic reception, exchanging greetings with supporters amid tight security and organized crowd control measures.
