Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor have entered transfer negotiations to sign former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, according to an official club announcement. The 34-year-old is available as a free agent after departing Anfield this summer following a nine-year stint, during which he scored 257 goals in 442 appearances and claimed two Premier League titles alongside the Champions League.
Trabzonspor Transfer Timeline and Arrival Schedule
Trabzonspor updated supporters regarding the high-profile transfer talks on Tuesday night, confirming the player’s upcoming travel itinerary to Turkey. According to the club’s official statement on X, Mohamed Salah is scheduled to land at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport General Aviation Terminal at 12:00 on Wednesday, August 5. The club added that the forward is scheduled to arrive in Trabzon later that same day during the evening hours. Officials noted that the exact time and additional details concerning the welcome program in Trabzon will be shared publicly through the club’s official communication channels.
Previous Interest and Besiktas Links
Prior to finalizing arrangements for his arrival in Turkey, Salah drew interest from a variety of international suitors since leaving Merseyside at the conclusion of his final campaign. Reports indicate that he had been linked with clubs from both Major League Soccer (MLS) and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, reports state he had verbally agreed to sign for another Turkish club, Besiktas, earlier in the transfer window before those discussions ultimately broke down.
