Mohamed Salah arrives in Türkiye to finalise Trabzonspor move | OneFootball

Free agent Mohamed Salah arrives in Türkiye on Wednesday to sign for Trabzonspor. Popular excitement has surged, while the financial scale of the deal has prompted questions.

He made only a brief stop in Istanbul before flying on to Trabzon, with arrival due in the evening. According to Turkish media, the 34-year-old has accepted a two-year contract worth 17 million euros, a five million euro bonus and a 20% share of shirt profits, and 100,000 shirts are said to have already been printed.

Salah had been close to joining Besiktas about 20 days ago, but talks proved fruitless. Trabzonspor then moved into the gap and set out details on their social channels.

Supporters hailed him as a legend outside Istanbul airport on Wednesday. He then boarded a connecting flight to Trabzon.

For Trabzonspor, this shapes up as a historic acquisition for a club unaccustomed to welcoming a player with such a record.
