Brazilian midfielder Fabinho is reportedly on the verge of joining Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor on a free transfer. The move would see the experienced player link up with former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah, who also joined the Turkish club earlier this month as a free agent.
Fabinho, 32, departed Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad in 2023 after a five-year spell at Liverpool. His transfer to Trabzonspor, if completed, would mark his return to European football.
Trabzonspor, in a social media post, shared an image of Fabinho wearing their kit aboard a private jet, fueling speculation about the imminent transfer. Fabinho himself was quoted in the post, saying, "A familiar face is waiting for me in Trabzon," hinting at his reunion with Salah.
The potential signing of Fabinho would be a significant boost for Trabzonspor as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. His defensive midfield prowess and experience are expected to add stability and leadership to the team.
