Mohamed Salah’s move to Trabzonspor has made waves beyond Türkiye, drawing new attention to his vast social media following. According to 61 Saat, Salah ranks seventh among the world’s most-followed footballers with 106 million across platforms.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the list on 964 million followers, with Lionel Messi second on 633 million.

Neymar is third with 398 million, and Kylian Mbappé fourth with 178 million.

Karim Benzema, of Al-Hilal, sits fifth on 139 million, and Erling Haaland is sixth with 115 million, narrowly ahead of Salah.

James Rodríguez is eighth with 100 million, followed by Paul Pogba on 95 million, then Vinícius Júnior in 10th with 91 million.

Few transfers could lift Trabzonspor’s global profile more, as Salah’s appeal stretches beyond the pitch into marketing reach and social media fandom.
