Mohamed Salah has a new club: Egypt's star picks surprise move | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah already has a new destination. After bringing his historic spell at Liverpool to an end, the Egyptian forward was confirmed as Trabzonspor’s star signing in Turkey, with the club first making the start of negotiations official and later announcing an agreement to sign him on a two-season contract.

The arrival of the 34-year-old attacker represents one of the most eye-catching signings of the European transfer window. Available on a free transfer after ending a nine-season stint at Liverpool, Salah chose to continue his career in the Turkish Super League, where he will be the standout figure for the Trabzon-based side.

As a result, the Turkish club has pulled off a blockbuster move with the signing of Salah. “Talks have begun over the transfer of professional footballer Mohamed Salah to our club,” the team posted.

During his time at Liverpool, Salah became one of the biggest idols in the club’s recent history. He won the Premier League, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the FA Cup and the English League Cup, while also collecting multiple individual honors and establishing himself as one of the greatest African footballers of all time.

Salah was one of Egypt’s standout players, a team that pushed the Argentina national side to the limit in the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, when they led 2-0 before suffering an epic comeback in Atlanta. The “Pharaoh” has three goals in World Cup history, having scored across the two editions he has played in: Russia 2018 and the recent 2026 World Cup.

The deal was completed after several days of speculation. Trabzonspor’s board had even initially denied an agreement, although negotiations continued until a successful outcome was reached and ended with the Turkish club’s official announcement.

Salah will travel to Turkey in the coming hours to complete the final administrative formalities, undergo his medical, and be officially presented to Trabzonspor’s fans, who are adding one of world football’s biggest stars for the 2026/27 season.
