Hundreds of excited fans greeted former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in Istanbul as he arrived for his anticipated transfer to Turkish club Trabzonspor. Salah, wearing the club's colors, acknowledged the crowd at Atatürk Airport.

The 34-year-old Egyptian captain is expected to sign with Trabzonspor after concluding a nine-year tenure at Liverpool. During his time at Anfield, Salah became one of the club's greatest players, scoring 257 goals.

Trabzonspor, which secured a third-place finish in the Turkish Super Lig last season, will participate in the Europa League qualifying rounds. The club's ability to sign Salah as a free agent means they can allocate more of their budget to his wages.

Salah's arrival is seen as a significant move for Trabzonspor, potentially bringing one of world football's prominent figures to the Turkish league. Fans now await official confirmation of the deal.
